Based on the central character in the Eminem song of the same name, a "stan" is an overzealous maniacal fan for any celebrity or athlete.
A Typical Kobe Bryant Stan would say something like.
"Kobe Bryant scored 81 points last night. Kobe could beat God himself in a game of 1 on 1 hoops. To hell with Michael Jordan or Wilt Chamberlain, they arent on Kobe's level!"

Past tense of being an overzealous or obsessive fan of a particular celebrity/artist/person/character, etc.

STalker + fAN = STAN

Eminem's song "Stan" embodied all the aspects of what it means to be a huge fanatic of a music artist, and the word has since been used to encompass all obsessive fan behavior.

Stan is a mix of stalker and fan. Its a crazy fan who basically worships a celebrity. The word was popularized by Eminem and now it is generally used as a verb.
"Demi Lovato is a true queen! We Stan!"
"We stan a good sister!"
"Yeah, he's a crazy stan, bro."

a stan is someone who is a really committed fan of a celebrity, sometimes verging on stalker-esque
I'm such a stan for Ashnikko that I dyed my hair blue and turned up at her house in the outfit she wears in her music video for 'STUPID'

unlike what most k-pop fans think, stan is not just liking something. a stan is a psychotic fan who would do anything for the attention of their idol. (term originally by Eminem in his 2002 song Stan)
person 1: dude did you see how person 3 killed himself because X didn't respond to his letters?
person 2: what a fucking stan

Stan means you look up to that person, you watch them or you truly love their content. It's another word for saying you idolize someone or something. You would say, "I stan _____" instead of I "I love that person"
