Bencharmer Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I "stanned" quite some singers, actors and influencers in my life. Over the years, i realised it was quite an unhealthy behaviour. From the "die hard stan" syndrome to "trying to identify to him/her/them." Right now, when it comes to singers, i just care about the music and that's it. I prefer seeing them as people who bring you a service (good music) rather than as idols to worship. I think it's important to consider them as equals to us. Consciously or subconscious, most of us take them as superior entities (and ofc the industry game is to make us feel so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nano Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I might agree if Britney wasn't so stan-worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cain Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I truly stan Dua but I agree with the last bit, I see her more as someone I’m really grateful for bringing me such a level of entertainment continuesly than as someone I worship. However I do greatly admire her work ethic and politics and try to bring that into my own life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthoe Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Congrats, you overcame stan brain rot, you'll be happier on the other side. None of this stanning matters when the planet will go to sh*t in a few years and governments are gonna collapse worldwide because of climate change induced civil wars Edited June 15, 2022 by Arthoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheShowoff Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Lol they are very much our equals and in a way they are jesters for us but somehow we allowed them to make more money than most of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brando Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Ye I realised that in my teens. No one is worthy of "stanning". I have my faves, but I don't owe them anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my faves, but I don't owe them anything Its pretty much a "parasocial collab"... We give them streams, money, praise and add a brick on the path that make them famous. In exchange they give us music, emotions, visuals... Edited June 15, 2022 by Bencharmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prisoner Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 It happens once you get older and have a job/life/etc. Of course not everyone is like that. See BTS army leader miss rafael (something) for example its also not a good thing to take stanning seriously once you're an adult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
