stan king

A stan queen is the undisputed fan royalty of a fandom — the person who knows every lyric, every tea, every backstage rumor, and has the receipts to prove it. They don't just stan; they orchestrate. Their stan account runs like a newsroom, their edits go viral, and newer fans look to them for the official fandom narrative. Being crowned a stan queen isn't self-proclaimed — the title is earned through years of dedication, legendary moments, and consistently showing up harder than anyone else in the replies.

A stan god is someone whose stan dedication has reached legendary, almost mythological status — the person in a fandom who has memorized every lyric, attended every tour date, owns every merch drop, and whose entire sense of self is threaded through their devotion to the artist or figure. In stan culture, being called a stan god is a genuine compliment: it recognizes a level of commitment and encyclopedic knowledge that most fans can only aspire to. Think of them as the elder of the fandom, the person whose opinion on authenticity and knowledge carries weight in fan spaces.

A title bestowed on a comedian or comedy fan who consistently delivers, dominates a specific scene, or just has a gift for making any group of people laugh on command. The standup king doesn't need a stage — they're the person at the dinner table, in the group chat, on stage at their local club, who reliably owns the room. Online it's used both seriously (crowning established comedians) and affectionately (for a friend who always comes through with the funniest take in any thread).
