STAN ETYMOLOGY (Thread): 'Stan' derives from Eminem's Remix of Dido's song 'Thank You'. W/c talks about a die-hard fan who would do everything 4his idol. The song can be triggering but here's d link:++ https://open.spotify.com/track/0AhrTX6TszxuoDjfOSprlz

The song has some negative connotations, but the meaning has carried over in POP stan-culture. It's effects can be both positive or negative depending on how the STAN carries its value. ++

On the one hand it can make one a Saesang/delulu fan who dangerously obsesses and brings harm to the one you are putting on a pedestal.

On the positive spectrum, a STAN is one who partners w/ d idol to make sure tht they're on top. STANs make up a strong fandom. It's a symbiotic give-take relationship. I can't describe it better than how Kevan states it:

A stan isn't a casual listener or supporter. STANs would do anything2make sure that d partnership is #1. As A'TIN x #SB19 or ARMY x BTS. D 'idol' & fandom have d same values & aims. They fight & work 2gther 2reach those goals.++

So when I say, 'I won't stan' another group. IT DOESN'T MEAN I won't support or cheer them on. By all means, PPOP rise! As long as they also work their ass off to make Philippines proud. I will encourage & cheer others on as well! ++

So pls don't use d word STAN lightly. It's sacred 4most. 2win a STAN's loyalty means u have proven urself worthy of their hard work & partnership. SB19 is WORTH STANNING. Their dream is A'TIN's own. Rightly so. STAN WISELY. STAN SB19.
