I believe the answer is:

punkahs

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fans' is the definition.
(I know this)

'modern type of rock has peculiar' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'has' is 'ahs' which is present in the answer.
'type of rock' could be 'punk' (as in punk rock music) and 'punk' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
