"Stan" is a slang term for a person obsessively devoted to a celebrity, franchise, or public figure. It comes from the 2000 Eminem song "Stan," which tells the story of a fan whose extreme obsession with the rapper leads to destructive behavior. The term entered online and youth slang in the early 2000s and quickly spread through social media, used to describe fans who go beyond normal admiration. It can be used neutrally, humorously, or critically depending on context: some embrace it as a badge of intense fandom, while others use it to mock excessive or unhealthy obsession.
