stanbase

Definitions

The stans (extremely obsessive fans) of a thing or person taken as a group.

Examples

“Each group of fans and stans has a name⟳ – like⟳ the Arianators – but not all stanbase names are created equal.”

““There have⟳ been other Bey stans and other stanbases who have⟳ come⟳ for me, which I find⟳ weird,” [Evan] Cox added.”

“One could argue⟳ that that Drake and Kanye West are hip-hop's most prolific vampires. Both have⟳ an uncanny way of picking up the scent of younger artists with fanatic online stanbases, taking them under their wings, and then leeching off their most interesting ideas for their own⟳ work⟳.”
