Have you ever been a stan of something?

[Mystic Mock]

I have got to admit that I have become a stan of Aiden Grimshaw.:joker:

I might have others but I will have to think.

Anyway as the title suggests,have you ever been a stan of anything?

Kanye West, Nas, Tupac, Jean-Luc Godard, Stanley Kubrick, Kurt Vonnegut, Detroit sport teams, Donkey Kong game franchise.

What is a stan?

[Niamh.]

When I was 13 I was a serious Christian Slater stan :laugh:

[Samuel.]

Kanye West and Scrubs would be my main two. I sort of stan The Killers, Eminem, Steven Gerrard and Futurama also, but not as much as I used to. If Duncan Jones directs another brilliant film, he'll certainly be on the list. And the brilliant Rafa Benitez :worship:

Despite my love for video games, I don't think I really stan any particular series.

What is a stan?

A super fan. Like the guy in Eminem's 'Stan', but less psychopathic.

[MTVN]

Tim Tebow, Leonardo di Caprio, used to be a bit of Paulo di Canio stan as well

[Josy]

No.

[Pyramid*]

Had teenage crushes as a kid but nothing more than buying records, posters or magazines etc.

[Bollo]

Oh thanks Samuel. Possibly Noel Fielding then

[Chuck]

Corinthians and Ozzy Osbourne.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

M.I.A thats about it

[Callum]

I hate the word stan but the only thing I really stan for is Harry Potter. There are other things/singers that I love but I don't obsess over them like I do with everything Potter. :spin:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

oh and beyonce and being human hurhur

[Shaun]

I don't think so. But apparently I am.

I consider 'stan' to be an obsessive fan though... and I don't obsess over anyone :/

[Princess]

I never really use the word stan. But things I've been obsessed with would be Spice Girls, David Beckham, Hear'Say(I was 10 shush), Friends, various Big Brother couples, Take That and also Grey's Anatomy and Home and Away to an extent. Oh and I suppose Harry Potter.

[Smithy]

nope http://gagadaily.com/public/style_emoticons/default/crossed.gif

[Doogle]

GaGa & Ke$ha are the only ones I actually obsessed over. Pixie for a bit.

[Niamh.]

:suspect:

[King Gizzard]

Never heard of the term 'stan'

[King Gizzard]

I would say football manager though. Have never told anyone the amount of time collectively I have spent just playing that game (it tells you in the steam client the collective time..)

[Doogle]

Oh I'd say a Crash Bandicoot & Friends stan with Games/TV.

Where did the name originate? Was it Eminem's song?

[Smithy]

yeah i think so

[Samuel.]

It can't be worse than mine.

FM09 - 481 hours
FM10 - 744 hours
FM11 - 861 hours

[Doogle]

yeah i think so

Ah, so has it been around since 2001 or something because I only heard the term at the end of 2011 :joker:

[Samuel.]

Yeah. I was surprised to see it used on here, I assumed it was only the hip hop crowd who used the term.

[GypsyGoth]

Ah, so has it been around since 2001 or something because I only heard the term at the end of 2011 :joker:


I only heard it a week ago for the first time.



And nope I never been a stan of something, I don't think.

[Doogle]

I've seen it used more and more on Twitter recently; people stanning (or whatever the "correct" term is) pretty much every single musical artist out there.

[King Gizzard]

It can't be worse than mine.

FM09 - 481 hours
FM10 - 744 hours
FM11 - 861 hours

Multiple times worse

[King Gizzard]

Well, I need to check

[Smithy]

861 hours is the equivalent to 35 days O___O

[Samuel.]

A good chunk of that time would have been where I've just left my laptop on while I did other things, but yeah it's pretty bad. Even worse when you consider about 600 of those were put in in about a 3 month period.

Football Manager is serious business.

[King Gizzard]

Yeah my maths is wrong, but my game time is basically the same, every day when I get in /any days I'm not doing anything it's on in the background

[bbfan1991]

Regular Man Utd stan all the way!:devil:

[Mystic Mock]

Ah, so has it been around since 2001 or something because I only heard the term at the end of 2011 :joker:

Yes,the term stan has been around for awhile.

Oh yes i'm a Birmingham stan.
