ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Cosplay

Cosplay is when people dress up like characters from movies, TV shows, books, or video games. It's like wearing a costume, but it's more fun because you get to be someone else for a while! You can make your own cosplay outfits with makeup and fabric, or you can buy them online. Once you have your costume, you can go to conventions and show it off to other people who like what you've made. It's a great way to make friends who love the same things you do!
