stan by eminiem came out twenty years ago tho. the usage has completely shifted in the time between then and now? in everyday language its lost its negative connotation. alot of people who consider themselves stans haven't even heard the original song

Yeah but being an obsessive "stalker fan" is still, you know, bad

Thank you because I’ve been wondering for a while where “stan” came from

Interestingly, I have seen the noun used almost exclusively negatively, and the verb almost exclusively positively.
-
I've usually seen it used as a verb more as self-mockery and have used it myself; "we stan X" is inherently self-teasing over one's devotion to something based on insufficient information.

Is THAT the reason we call them stans now? What happened to fans? I never hear that word anymore.

Being a "fan" is normal now, everyone's a fan of something, so you have to say "stan" to communicate fanatical intensity
