I guess that makes sense. it seems like people use stan and shill interchangeably, which I believe should be incorrect

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Stans also tend to shill by like bringing their shit up when it's not even relevant so this makes sense to me

I assume it started as an insult before the people being insulted started using it themselves because they have absolutely no self-awareness, because if they heard the song and thought "That guy sounds like someone I want to identify with!" then holy shit they're even more broken than I thought.

I knew where the term came from but I legitimately did not know this. Good stuff.

I was the opposite. I knew what it meant but had no idea what it referenced.

It is not a portmanteau even a little bit y'all

it is literally just referencing Stan from the Eminem song.

Yeah stalker fan is an explanation for the name that people made up later, the term just came from the name of the guy in the song and to my knowledge Eminem has never claimed he picked the name because of stalker fan

First, other rappers started using the term, most notably Nas used it in Ether. From there it spread into the rest of pop culture

I watched a behind the scenes on American Psycho, whose script was written by a woman, and dudes would try to hit on her by saying, "I'm Patrick Bateman."

The term stan only works as a deragatory. Whenever I hear stuff like I stan yada yada - you just played yourself.

It's never been a part of my vocabulary since I always thought of it as a specific insult that I've never had a use for. Em just recently used it in Killshot, the diss track that buried MGK. Fuck that kid, he is a stan.
