Definitions
An informal term for someone who participates in or performs standups — whether that means a comedian doing live sets or a developer enduring the daily Agile ritual. In dev circles a standuper is often the person who treats the fifteen-minute sync like a performance opportunity, delivering their update with suspicious amounts of charisma. In comedy it can mean an enthusiastic hobbyist or open-mic regular who hasn't quite earned the full comedian label yet. The word carries a slightly playful tone either way.
He's been a standuper at every open mic in the city for two years and still hasn't told a joke that lands.

- hyper stan58%
A hyper stan is everything turned up to eleven in real time — they're the ones flooding every comment section within minutes of a post going up, refreshing Spotify charts every hour, posting unhinged threads at 3am defending their fave from a reply that got 12 likes. Where a mega stan has deep roots and long history, a hyper stan is pure kinetic energy, always in motion, always reactive. Hyper stans make fandoms feel alive and chaotic and slightly terrifying to anyone outside them.
- hyperpoper58%
A fan, creator, or participant embedded in hyperpop culture — someone who not only listens to the genre but lives in its aesthetic, references its artists, and probably has opinions about whether something is 'actually hyperpop' or just PC Music adjacent. A hyperpoper is not a casual listener; they are in the Discord, they know the deep cuts, they were there before it crossed over. The term is worn as both a badge and occasionally a mild self-deprecating joke, since hyperpop stans are known for their intensity.
