Given the generally organic flow of Camp Sparkle, I'd say the Random Splinter Groups are pretty much exactly that...two people start talking about X subject, and other people overhear and feel that subject is interesting and join in the discussion (or video watching, or whatever.) Whether or not the subject of the moment is specifically Pop or Something Else is sort of irrelevant.
Perhaps we need a dry erase board in the kitchen (or wherever the most-common gathering point is, but I think that's ALWAYS been the kitchen so far, hasn't it?) where Interested Parties could write a note that they intend to do Such And Such a thing in X Room in ten minutes, or tomorrow at noon or whatever? It's certainly possible other people might be interested in various Splinter Activities that they simply weren't aware were happening. And if one of them is discussing some Other Fandom, perhaps someone who isn't normally bothered to investigate could drop by to see if their interest could be drawn in. Bothering to investigate is much easier when all you have to do is walk to a room and lurk. *g*
