But with g4, we saw a whole flood of different forms of pony art- from original fan made music and remixes of the official music, to PMV’s, custom sculpts and crafts, to fan made fracking animations!To be honest, I find plenty of G4 fan works to be pretty cringeworthy.um...care to elaborate on that?You know, like those epic 400k word dark fics where Pinkie Pie dies murdered by a pony drug cartel and Rainbow Dash is coping with the loss (with dozens of dramatic readings by sobbing bronies on YouTube), or those cheap dubstep songs about how much the author likes Rarity, or all those edgy self-insert OCs, or those videos that are just copies of non-pony videos with vectors traced straight from the cartoon (I once saw one that ripped off a Touhou fan video), or all those memes and comics about wanting to go to Equestria, or all that questionable fanart I won't even talk about here Yeah I know it's not all like that, but there's been quite a lot of it, especially in early to mid 2010s.

but then that's still a fandom, surely? Why is there this "need" to have a "fandom"? You can't control or predict what will/won't be a hit. I'm sure at least some of us will still be around for G5, isn't that enough of a fandom?

And I understand that certain works don’t fly. But you’re delving a bit too deep. I was only talking about the art mediums- the categories that are available and being done now- the medium of fanfics as a whole, PMV’s as a whole, Music and crafts as a whole- not necessarily the individual works that make these things up. And basically just where g5 can go and bring to the table next by way of artistic expressions.
