Stan is when you combine "stalk" and "fan". While you may not actually stalk, it does mean you are obsessed with a brand, celebrity, show, topic, etc.

Stan as many people know is a character in Eminem's popular song Stan. Because the character was so obsessive the name can be used as an adjective. You could call somebody a "stan" if you think they are obsessive of someone or something. One good exampe would be in the song Ether by Nas.
