an obsessive fan of a celebrity. Originated from Eminem's song Stan.
person 1: those kids over there are going crazy for Justin Bieber
person 2: I know right, there all just stans
a stan is someone who is a really committed fan of a celebrity, sometimes verging on stalker-esque
I'm such a stan for Ashnikko that I dyed my hair blue and turned up at her house in the outfit she wears in her music video for 'STUPID'
an overobsessed fan to the point of following a star around.
It is formed from the words stalker and fan.
Stalker + fan = stan.
I'm trying to watch a Amerie video and all of these Beyonce stans keep saying "Amerie sucks, Beyonce's better."
Stan is when you combine "stalk" and "fan". While you may not actually stalk, it does mean you are obsessed with a brand, celebrity, show, topic, etc.
I totally stan The Handmaid's Tale.
A character from SouthPark. He is usually the rational one. Whenever Kenny dies (which is every episode), he says:
Stan: Oh my god, they killed Kenny!
Kyle: You Bastards!!
Let's watch South Park, it's the one where Stan, Kyle, and Cartman try to build a ladder to heaven.
