It's another word for describing (hardcore) fans. People who idolize somebody else.
Sometimes the term is used in an offensive way, to 'attack' somebody who is idiolizing another person hardcore.
It's originated from the song Stan by Eminem. A song that goes about a hardcore Eminem fan called Stan.
The term has been used in several songs by different artists, like Logic in his song Return.
"Eminem is so awesome, I'm a real Stan!"
"Used to call you a hater, you a motherfuckin' Stan"
-Logic
Dude why do you idiolize him so much? You're such a Stan
Shit That Ain't Nothin.
When a person has to "one up" every conversation by saying something bigger or cooler. Usually an attempt to gain acceptance or be a part of the group.
When telling a story the other day about my recent hunting trip where I killed a good buck, Ol Stan butted and said "Shit that ain't nothing...I killed two bucks with a single shot. And both were bigger than that!"
Stalker + Fan = Stan
From Eminem’s song “Stan”
Person 1: Oh wow she’s way too obsessed with Eminem.
Person 2: Yeah, she’s totally an Eminem Stan.
the name Stan comes from the roman general Lifueza Stannisa, after several centuries of naming it becomes, Stan.
The name Stan describes the person's brave and handsome personality. A Stan is usually the biggest chad you meet in life, if there's another chad, he must be a Stan.
Girl 1: You are such a Stan <3
Stan: What can I say, Im worthy of my name.
A guy that will only use you for your body but claims he loves you and drop you for a girl he knows for 2 days and asks you for nudes and the day after for a break up
“Omg I am dealing with a Stan again…”
“Girl drop him he doesn’t deserve you! You are worth so much more!”
A stan is a twitter/instagram fan account that likes to mock people's death's (Well mostly kpop and ariana stans , there are stans who don't do that) and also smash their keyboards for no reason for example : sksksksksksksksk.
Person 1 : Yo did you see this mean stan who just mocked stan lee?
Person 2 : Yeah thats bad but some don't do that lol
Person 1 : Yeah but that is too far
Person 2 : I agree bro
