Title: Okay kids, explain this "stanning" shit to me
Post by: Boogie on March 28, 2014, 08:48:56 PM
Because all of a sudden in the past two weeks, everyone's speaking fucking Greek.  >:(

I mean, from the context, I kinda get the gist of it.

But what's the origin of the term?  What does it exactly mean?  And where the hell is my cane?  :maf

Stan.

From the song stan.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOMhN-hfMtY

A creepy fan who goes too far.

It's a rap term, and has been in urban culture lexicon for about 13 years.

Okay, I'm vaguely familiar with that song.

But that thing's ancient.  What's with the recent resurgence?

It's not a recent resurgence. We've been using that term for years.

It's just that it's now popular with white people.

Look, I don't know what y'all talk about in your secret meetings.

I'm like a semi-finalist in the competition for Whitest Borian Ever, so that context should be a given in anything I post.

It's like asking where "shade" and "dragging" came from. Been around for decades, everyone is just finally exposed to that kind of shit because of drag queen culture coming into the mainstream.

Post by: Cindi Mayweather on March 28, 2014, 09:02:32 PM
it went like this:

rap fans -> gay people who like pop -> main population

it just took 13 years since nas used it as an insult

is it really stealing if you guys keep pushing it on us, brehs?

it's so demonic, friends, this stanning thing.  please don't revoke our use of this new slang.

you ain't tom cruise and this ain't top gun so don't you take my brehs away

I like all this now mainstream black internet slang, I'm hoping talking like that will make it safer for me to walk around at night when I'm visiting my aunt in Newark  :hitler

I'm not well versed in internet speak. I tend to pick things up when they're already out of style. So where can I go to learn about the emerging stuff? This is very important for me and I want to stay ahead of the curve.

My scalp is burning from too many wigs being snatched and I'm down to my last weave.

Seems to me every niche group has their own lingo. Eventually it becomes mainstream. I'm sure you have a lot of lgbt lingo that'll leave cis straights shaking in their boots. Don't worry bout it.

Slang:

black people in real life -> twitter-> sites with large black populations -> sites with large gay populations -> everyone else

bae.

Sounds like I can hit two birds with one stone by finding a gay, black, coli-dwelling buttbuddy. :flabbypd

Not always true. For you mad for instance, Cam'ron used it on O'reilley and then on SOHH (in 2004 or 2005) it started to become a thing. It is funny how the general population has U Mad t shirts almost ten years after the fact. Slang is fascinating.

Ki is a flamboyant chuckle.

Yaaas is a flamboyant way of saying yes.

Kiki, otoh, means gossiping/chatting with girlfriends and spilling tea. For example, everyone in the GAF thread is kiki-ing because they're all wild homos.

The disproportion between the (over) use of the term and instances where it was actually applied/thrown is hilarious.

Tea will rise because  phrases like no tea no shade. Even if tea isn't cool the terms are a set.

I think the sum of the circle jerk can be gayer than its parts.

Post by: Phoenix Dark on March 30, 2014, 09:36:32 AM
It should be noted that stanning is more respectable than dickriding. To dickride is to champion a winner, whereas a real stan is willing to go down with the ship of his fave. You can't stan Beyoncé, Rihanna, Jay Z, and other popularly wack acts. Gaga fans have finally qualified for stan licensing due to her recent struggles, but many jumped ship because they were never true fans. They follow the unce unce unce from one artist to another with no regard for consistency. Look at all Gaga did for her fans. Most couldn't marry before she became a gay icon and changed the world, and they still don't care because she released one weak album. Disgusting.

As a Nas fan I'm an expert at this shit. A real stan is willing to go the extra mile to defend his idol. There's nothing more joyous than seeing your dude win because you know you played a part. When Nas fucked Kelis I felt like I fucked her. After all I helped make him a multi million selling artist, which led to him meeting her. When Nas pays child support I feel good knowing that anyone who can afford 50k a month is truly successful.

Ultimately it's been a frustrating process fraught with Ls but at the end of the day I know I'm stanning a legend who still looks 20, is attractive, has multiple business ventures, released a very good album last time, isn't a camel, and isn't married to a woman with severe halitosis.

No unless some jizz touch his skin.
