"Stan" Turns 25
Eminem's groundbreaking hip-hop ballad "Stan," released a quarter of a century ago, continues to resonate. The song, which revolves around an obsessed fan, is one of the most unconventional songs ever written, as the story is primarily told from the perspective of a fan. The term "Stan," a term used to describe an overly dedicated fan, was officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2017. Eminem himself is a co-producer of the documentary "Stans," now available on Paramount+, which follows a group of real Eminem fans and reflects themes present in his lyrics.
