Not many people talk about this in the comments here, but this song seriously has such a valuable message. A message about obsessive fans who invade the lives of their idols, having difficulty recognizing that their idols are only people too, with their lives, feelings, and need for space. It’s disheartening how people can treat celebs like they’re their property.

[@therino9695]

Kpop? Are you talking about Kpop?

[@niegnieg8427]

your comment makes it seem like the celebrities are the victim in this scenario but its clearly the obsessive fan and the people he loves who are really in need of help

So when this song first debuted. I remember when the DJ at my local urban station announced the premier, then after the song ended, took a pause and said he hadn't ever heard a song like this. Next day at school, we talked about whether or not this actually did happen. Where I lived, as big as Em was, no one really bought his album. A stamp in time for sure. Arguably one of the best, if not the best, story rap song ever. Now I Feel You by Scarface and Story To Tell by Biggie are the only other ones I can pit against it.

[@aylayzrianne]

I feel like this is more relevant in today's youtuber/celebrity worship culture. It feels like everyone is a 'stan' of someone nowadays.

[@zook3484]

Especially since it has brought up a few issues as of recent with Carson and his friends. As the internet says, a stan is a stalker fan, and it really shows, saying you’re a stan is basically like admitting you are crazed over a person, which is really bad as you’re putting an average, normal human being on a pedestal. It’s sickening how far people will go to sniff their idols scent. Surprisingly, Stan is a good representation of how these people will act in situations like those (maybe not the tape recorder part, but people are crazy) and it’s honestly horrifying how much they would do for an influencer In conclusion, stans bad, now give me internet points

[@TheRafark]

[@j-skullz]

It's weird how social media has made us more "connected" to the people we admire but somehow it's all even more once-removed from reality. I swear people don't see their fav internet creators/youtubers as human and it's borderline disturbing honestly, they forget that even though they can talk to these people instantly through a screen, they are still talking to a total stranger who is living, feeling person like them. Like if you wouldn't say something creepy/over-familiar/rude to the face of a stranger on the street, maybe don't say it to them on KZbin/Twitch/Twitter either lmao

Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that And here's an autograph for your brother I wrote it on the Starter cap I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must of missed you Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too? I say that shit just clownin' dog, come on, how fucked up is you? You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counseling To help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some And what's this shit about us meant to be together? That type of shit will make me not want us to meet each other I really think you and your girlfriend need each other Or maybe you just need to treat her better I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin' just fine If you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan I just don't want you to do some crazy shit I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid And in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to Come to think about, his name was, it was you Damn!

[@probablyeatingpotatoes2569]

I’m a little late, but I wasn’t born at the time this came out. I think this is truly one of the best songs ever written. It makes me feel numb and sad and mad at the same time. It makes me think that I didn’t suffer enough to be depressed and at the same time it shows me that I should look for help, it shows me that I need to take care of myself and that I am not just seeking for attention. It’s like he personally talkes to you and gives you hope, makes you realize you should take care of yourself. I want to thank you, Eminem. For every song, every lyric, every word. You saved me and you still are saving me. Thank you, from the deepest of my heart.

[@pceboo3120]

@@probablyeatingpotatoes2569 I think that there are a lot of people over exaggerating sadness or unhappiness. If you re diagnosed with depression I'm sorry about the way you feel. but being depressed that early on in your life isn't that common and if you haven't already please seek a diagnosis because self diagnosing yourself is too inaccurate. Also you mentioned you are saved by eminem and his music not really a part of what I was saying before but honestly I think music might have a bad effect on you, you're very young and you're indicating that the way you think you can fix or escape your problems is suicide and that's not a good way to think, I theorize you might have had that idea put in your head by music in the first place

[@probablyeatingpotatoes2569]

@@pceboo3120 thank you for looking out for me. I appreciate that. I am indeed diagnosed with depression and I need therapy. A year earlier, when we were all in quarantine I didn’t discover Eminem jet. I sank in a deep depression because my father mentally abused me and I had to take care of my younger brother and sister. I cut myself even though I didn’t even knew the meaning of it. I didn’t even know I was depressed. I discovered Eminem right when it got a little better. I could relate to a lot of what he said in his songs, and that’s why I eventually went with my mother to a doctor. I listen a lot to the songs ‘beautiful’, ‘lose yourself’ and ‘not afraid’ because they give me strength when I feel like giving up. The only reason I’m still here today is because I didn’t want to let my siblings alone in this world and Eminem. That’s why I wanted to thank him.
