No. If you belong to an Em forum you are a Stan. Unless it's for troll purposes.
That's ridiculous.
Belonging to a forum on somebody / a topic is for the sake of dicussion. The hysteria Eminem himself has created with that one fucking song is totally absurd.
You're a Stan if - You not only listen to Eminem's music but you...
1. Follow and care deeply about his personal issues.
2. Defend him no matter what and delude yourself into liking everything.
3. Dress, talk and try to be like Eminem.
4. Try to get on contact with Eminem.
That term can only be logically applicable if you adhere to at least those four as those are the main issues at present in Stan and from which the definition sprung. You can't claim somebody is that just because they like his music or talk about his music.
People talk about artists they like all the time, as I do about other artists, comedians, writers, directors etc. it's fucking discussion for Christ's sake. You only think it makes you a Stan because it's in the context of Eminem. It's totally normal.
You're NOT a Stan even if you know every word to every song. As a lot of people have that same type of obsession with plenty of other artists in every field.
I for example pretty much know every word to every episode of The Office and Extras. But what, I'm not a 'Gervais Stan' just because he doesn't have a relevant term? lmao.
I'm not a 'stan' of Eminem for the same reason. I talk, act and think like me, not like Eminem. I don't try to be like him, I couldn't give a shit about his personal life and follow him for his music. That does not make you Stan. It's so fucking silly.
