A “stan” is an over-the-top, highly dedicated fan. Think of someone who doesn’t just love an artist, brand, or creator but goes the extra mile to promote, defend, and obsess over them online. Popularized by Eminem's 2000 song, “Stan,” it now carries a more playful, positive connotation.
On Twitter (X), for example, K-pop stans flood feeds with support for their favorite bands, while Beyoncé’s “BeyHive” stans protect her like a digital security team. Stans drive community hype, meme culture, and virality. And when passionate enough, they can rally support for a cause, or go to “war” over controversies…think “Swifties”.
