A pun off of the words “brand” and “pandering”. When a brand with a social
media account pretends to be a real person in an attempt to pander to a certain fandom in the hopes that they
support said brand by, for example, buying their products.
random food brand: “omg we love harry styles so much we stan!”
an obsessed stan: “im gonna buy (insert brand name
food product here) now just cause they pretend to like harry styles!”
a regular person: “silence, brand. stop brandering.”
