That's not what you're saying, right? I am not saying that. I am saying the reason Gen Z says sus is because they watched someone play amongus or their friends did and they started using it that way. If some dude in 1990 used the word before that, it is irrelevant to the why of Gen Z using it. It is still thanks to Amongus. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Stan was used heavily online by Millennials in places that where hip-hop culture focused since the mid-late 2000s, it was only used as an insult though.

Term was not used in 2001. https://theoutline.com/post/2425/when-stan-became-a-verb Though Eminem gave the world the image of Stan, Nas showed the world how to put "stan" to work, having used it in his classic 2001 diss track Ether": "You a fan, a phony, a fake, a pussy, a Stan." His is the first recorded usage of "stan" as a label (and a pejorative one) for an obsessive fan rather than the name of the fan himself. From there "stan" slowly took off, and while the noun's pejorative meaning remains, the murderous intent it was originally associated with has nearly disappeared. Stans all over the world label themselves as such to express just how dedicated they are to a particular artist and their fandom. Literally the first usage (outside of the actual song) was in 2001. That article goes on to say that it was added to the urbandictionary in 2008, well before stream culture took off. In fact, it predates Twitch by three years. --- Hey Trashcan Man!

Let's go with the 2008 usage as the first one, because reasons. It still predates twitch even being a thing by three full years. Not exactly "twitch talk", now is it? --- Hey Trashcan Man!
