Derived from the 2000 Eminem song "Stan", a Stan is a partially derogatory term for a fan of a celebrity or a piece of pop culture. Much like the titular character in the song, who kills both himself and wife out of frustration at not receiving a response to his fan letters, it implies a crazed level of admiration or obsession.

The term has been appropriated by "Stans" over time to simply mean a passionate fan. It is particularly popular on social media.
