It's basically a super fan. It's a combination of "Stalker" and "Fan." If you love something you "stan" it. Like I "stan" for St. Vincent. Or I "stan" for Pearl Jam.
what? no. well, you're half right. so super fan/stalker yes, but it's not a juxtaposition of those two words: it's just the name of the song/person in the Eminem song.
Well sure that's a common sense application. But according to Urban Dictionary, "stan" is a portmanteau of the words "stalker" and "fan," and refers to someone who is overly obsessed with a celebrity.
It's definitely from the Eminem song, the portmanteau must have been thought of retroactively

So, instead of saying you really like St. Vincent, you say you "stan" her? That might be the dumbest thing I've heard. I remember Stan from the Eminem song, and it definitely meant something different, so I guess I'm still confused?

I have a great idea.
Let's stop using terms that fucking Eminem invented.
Thanks.

In modern English, you can verb pretty much any noun.
