Many of the auction outfits are full head-to-toe looks, shoes and all, so the most die-hard Spears stans can relive the singer's most famous moments and have Halloween costumes ready for the next decade or so — all the winner needs is a boa constrictor.

In fact, Adrianne Wadewitz, a feminist scholar of 18th-century literature, set Wikipedia straight on this point over a decade ago, when she identified the first fandom subculture as the Janeites, the network of Jane Austen stans who found their prime directive, Austen idolatry, around 1870.

Hearties (stans of the show, please keep up) came to terms with the reality that one of the show's stars would not be returning to season 6 (yes, literally six season) right after Operation Varsity Blues broke, a nationwide admissions scandal at which Loughlin found herself in the center.

Mainstream hip-hop fans, stans, the music industry, and the media have rewarded a Nicki Minaj who reinforces the paradigm that there can only be one dominant female rapper at any given moment, and that she must be perpetually aggressive and combative about her place in the industry hierarchy.

Sunday Riley stans may swear by Good Genes, the brand's top-selling potion that delivers brighter skin thanks to powerful AHAs, or the retinol-infused Luna Sleeping Night Oil, which helps minimize fine lines and uneven texture overnight — but there's a new holy-grail coming to shelves this month.

The language used by stans to discuss pop stars (which is primarily lifted from black women and queer communities of color) has spilled over into other communities that aren't just talking about which pop star just "outsold" the other but are stanning for a congressional or presidential candidate.

For some stans, it's not just about believing that someone you're a fan of is superior to all comers; it's about proving and quantifying that superiority in any way possible, whether it's in terms of box office earnings and album sales or fan-voted honors like the People's Choice Awards.

Someone who may not have succeeded as the international pop superstars we thought they could be, but their legacy is perhaps something much more than that: the impact they've had on the lives of their stans, the ones who defended them and bought their music when seemingly no one else would.

Now, together, we have the unique ability to help restore the vast reach of this empire that once stretched from the center of Europe across the mountains and plains of the "Stans" to the Pacific, from the shores of the Baltic on the north to the Black Sea on the south.

Looking back at why dating Mariah stans was once important, it's because my fandom began as a manifestation of self, a vital escape from the precarious conditions of my real world at the time: My parents were divorcing just as I was beginning to come to terms with being gay.

" The album's biggest single, with its literally head-spinning music video, lured young '90s music stans who, at the time, didn't know their Damn the Torpedoes from their Full Moon Fever, but certainly knew how to groove to its harmonious chorus: "Let's get to the point / Let's ro-o-oll another joint.

Besides stans rightfully stanning and people wondering who Grande's therapist is, Twitter quickly turned three lines from the song's pre-chorus that are probably about her exes ("one taught me love/one taught me patience/and one taught me pain") into a lighthearted meme that can apply to pretty much any fandom.
|

These intense fans are not just fans, but stans: a portmanteau of the words "stalker" and "fan" that denotes someone who is so passionate about their fandom, they'll stop at nothing to defend their favorite celebrity (or "fave," as they're often called in the stan community) against anyone who appears to criticize them.

There is a dark, obsessive energy to such devotion; fittingly, these crusaders are now often referred to as "stans"—a reference to a song by Eminem, from 2000, which tells the story of a fictional fan named Stan who writes increasingly unhinged letters to the rapper before driving his car into a river.

She was part of the reporting team on the Son of Sam serial-killer case, and she covered the trials of Bill and Emily Harris, who kidnapped the heiress Patricia Hearst in 1974, and John N. Mitchell and Maurice Stans, two former members of President Richard M. Nixon's cabinet, on criminal conspiracy charges.

But the 44-year-old Korean-American filmmaker didn't just goad Beyoncé stans into attack with taunts about their inability to do real damage and quips to the press destined to immediately be taken out of context, he greeted the influx of bee emojis and tweeted insults like Lieutenant Dan howling defiance at a hurricane.

The 2020 Democratic primary is the first in a really mature social media world, and the strongest candidates — even the weaker ones — have huge channels to communicate directly with their supporters — their stans, like Kamala Harris's self-consciously named #khive — to tell their own versions of what happened on that stage, and rebut all criticism.

Her vagina-scented candle might be dressed up in the same chic aesthetic as the rest of the lifestyle wares Goop peddles, but it's still just a candle that smells like a vagina—or at least jokes about smelling like a vagina in order to get Goop stans to shell out $75 for it.

Anne Helen Petersen wrote about Armie Hammer's career last year, and he replied to her on Twitter, saying her perspective was "bitter AF." He deactivated his Twitter account shortly after, which caused a deluge of Call Me by Your Name stans to go after Petersen online, with one person going so far as to threaten to kill her dog.

But a lot of this is normal, unavoidable and misunderstood TikTok, a Chinese Video App, Brings Fun Back to Social Media Kevin Roose stans for the Chinese lip-synching app: About an hour after downloading TikTok, the popular video-sharing app, I experienced a bizarre sensation, one I haven't felt in a long time while on the internet.

Obviously, the Sonny stans come out in his defense, but based on this and his 'About Me' section it seems like the kid couldn't even push his fringe out of his eye without being hit with an insult, which, considering he is responsible for making music that has aged better than most of us as people, makes me sad.

"Especially for Ariana, I know how much of an idol Aretha was to her." ariana stans worried about aretha blocking sweetener omg imagine if stan twitter realized there was a world outside of charts — family friendly account (@slutoIogy) August 16, 2018 Ugh its such a bad coincidence that Sweetener is dropping the same day Aretha Franklin passed away.

Personally I think bands like The Shins are destined for the same fate as 90s emo bands like Mineral, Braid, and American Football, which is: old time stans will pretty much always show up for it, casual fans probably won't bother and most first timers will go "whom?" and move right along, while others might find themselves intrigued.

Central Asia is a buffer zone between regional hegemons Russia, China, and Iran, and perennially unstable Afghanistan, so the five "Stans" must act in a coordinated fashion to maximinze their negotiating position with the hegemons, and effectively work with their Afghan neighbors to roll back violent extremism and bring Afghanistan into the local trade and transport space.

Creating the opportunity to bring on another queen (or two, if she includes Joanne's Florence Welch ditty "Hey Girl," which could open up a revolving door of female singers who could hop on stage for the empowerment duet throughout the show's run) for a special performance is the kind of razzle-dazzle Vegas audiences (and pop stans around the world) live for.

For the Chalamet stans, this news comes as no surprise as the Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr accounts dedicated to his existence have been aware of the rumor since the two first followed each other in January, and more recently when they both attended the Toronto Film Festival while promoting each of their respective movies (Chalamet, Beautiful Boy and Depp, A Faithful Man).

"Maybe we should drop Panini before we take a trip to Flavortown @LilNasX?" he wrote, referencing a track from Lil Nax X's unreleased EP. (Guy stans, and we stan this stan.) Although Lil Nas X hasn't responded to Fieri's follow-up thirst, the responses to Fieri's initial tweet gave us a taste (PUN 100 PERCENT INTENDED) of what this collabo could be like.

What makes Bruce so appealing to so many people isn't necessarily that his music is revolutionary (although some Stans will surely let me know how wrong that opinion is), but rather that he knows exactly how to describe what it's like to be alive right now in a way that is digestible and easy to comprehend—regardless if that "now" is in 1980 or 1992 or 2016.

And while we daydream about what the next era of Beyoncé's maternity style will look like, us serious Beyoncé stans have been knee-deep in our own Bey-themed detective work over pressing matters, such as: Which lingerie brand(s) was wearing in her Instagram announcement; when and where she forewarned us of this blessing, and all of the memes that came with it.

" Fans and stans have always gone hand in hand with pop culture figures and franchises: Beatles fans followed the members wherever they showed up in the '60s during the height of Beatlemania; Elvis Presley's manager, Colonel Parker, encouraged fans to form fan clubs to spread news about upcoming album releases and concerts because they saw the networks' existence as "another grassroots opportunity for local promotion.

While Crocker was not mentioned in the 2011 New York Times article about pop diva stans, a number of other Britney fans or stan connoisseurs — including the twentysomething creators of pop music site MuuMuse, the Britney fansite BreatheHeavy, and the parodic Stan Wars — were all profiled, in part to show that they parlayed their fandom into positions in the creative industries as bloggers, graphic designers, or entertainment journalists.

In December, after Rihanna liked a photo on Instagram without reading the caption — it claimed her album Anti deserved more album nominations than Bey's Lemonade — stans from her "Navy" fanbase screenshotted and reposted the moment so many times that the Bajan singer had to address the issue: "I never actually read your caption, thought the pic [sic] was funny and moved right along!" she commented on the Instagram.

While Chalamet and Depp haven't given us the Pariana-inspired Instagram PDA we're craving (at least, not yet — although Chalamet did like a photo she posted on Instagram back in September), they've been generous enough to give the world some IRL canoodling that's a slap in the face to any Chalamet stans who remain convinced that they would make a really good match for the actor given the opportunity to bump into him at a party.

Last year, Bey headlined both weekends of the music festival, and stans around the world either powered through their weird molly sweats or gathered before their laptops to marvel in the majesty of our queen giving us plebs two hours of EVERYTHING—An HBCU-themed performance complete with marching band, dancers, a drop in from J. Balvin, motherfucking Solange coming on to dance on the extended version of "Get Me Bodied," all the hits, some of the deep cuts, a goosebump-inducing version of "Lift Every Voice and Sing," a celebration of Black excellence and expression, and all of our collective screams.

But you're too lazy, you say—you're too broke to afford the six-figure sum you'd have to plop down for Kurt Cobain's stinky-ass MTV Unplugged sweater, and you're not basic enough to just buy a velvet long-sleeved shirt and say you're Taylor Swift at her recent NPR Tiny Desk Concert, or ballsy enough to pull off the terrible, mismatched gingham to be Charly Bliss at their own Tiny Desk (although that particular costume can also double as WWI Dazzle camouflage if you're trying to impress the true maritime history stans in your life, so that's something).
