TIL: It's derived from Eminem's hit song, Stan, which depicts a psycho stalker creepy superfan who eventually kills his wife and himself, all because eminem didn't write him back.

And in the music video, it's revealed that the letter fell out of the mail bin during transit. Eminem never received it.

That song was around before most of the zoomers themselves were.

People definitely used to do that, and still do. Some zoomer slang is coopted from more niche older things.

Originally Fan = Fanatic. And it meant obsessed. Eventually it's use got so watered down, everyone became "fans".
