Based on the central character in the
Eminem song of the same name, a "stan" is an
overzealous maniacal fan for any celebrity or athlete.
Example:
A Typical
Kobe Bryant Stan would say something like.
"Kobe Bryant scored 81 points last night. Kobe could beat God himself in a game of 1 on 1 hoops. To hell with Michael Jordan or
Wilt Chamberlain, they arent on
Kobe's level!"

Stan is a mix of
stalker and fan. Its a crazy fan who basically
worships a celebrity. The word was popularized by
Eminem and now it is generally used as a verb.

unlike what most
k-pop fans think, stan is not just liking something.
a stan is a
psychotic fan who would do anything for the attention of their idol. (term originally by Eminem in his 2002 song Stan)
Example:
person 1: dude did you see how
person 3 killed himself because X didn't
respond to his letters?
person 2: what a fucking
stan

Stan means you look up to that person, you watch them or you truly love their content. It's another word for saying you
idolize someone or something. You would say, "
I stan _____" instead of I "I love that person"

A song by Eminem off of
The Marshall Mathers LP about a man who loves Eminem and his music to the point of insanity. The fan, whose name is Stan, meets Eminem at a show and then begins to write him letters. The letters get progresivly stranger. After a long time with no responce from Eminem, Stan puts his girlfriend in the trunk of his car and drives to a bridge. Stan tells Eminem all about what and why he is doing this from a tape recorder in his car. Stan then drives the car
over the bridge, presumably killing himself and his girlfriend who was pregnant with his kid. The song ends with Eminem writing a letter to Stan right after his death. But Eminem then realizes that the man he has heard about on the news who drove his car over a bridge is the guy who has been writing him letters. In other words if Eminem had wrote the letter a week earlier Stan would have remained alive. Famous because it used the baseline and vocals from
Dido's famous song "Thank You". Very powerful song.
Example:
" Have you heard in
the news they're blaming some crazy guy killing someone because he listened to and was influenced by that song Stan?
"Of course, they always do that"
Dear Stan, I meant to write you
sooner but I just
been busy...
Stan is a depressing song.

Stan as many people know is a character in
Eminem's popular song Stan. Because the character was so obsessive the name can be used as an adjective. You could call somebody a "stan" if you think they are obsessive of someone or something. One good
exampe would be in the song
Ether by Nas.
