REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"I will defend this group with my whole chest, I stan unconditionally."
LORE & ORIGIN
Derived from Eminem's 2000 song 'Stan,' about an obsessive fan, the term was reclaimed and de-stigmatized by K-pop and pop-music fandoms through the 2010s into a generally positive, often self-applied label for passionate fandom participation.
