When do you start stanning?
I know people stan for different artists for many different things.
But on average, when do or did you start stanning for an artist?
After a song?
Performance?
Music Video?
Controversy?
Following their person life an getting to know them?
ect..

Listen to their whole discography and a couple of interviews then...
But some stans on here are way more dedicated tbh

Album/s + Interview/s.

The music but also beauty, and live performances of other legends' songs made me stan.

i stan for basically everybody i listen to tbh. if i enjoy their most of their music, i call myself a stan there are like 10-15 people i stan harder than the rest tho

After I've heard most of their music and loved it for 3 months +

Disco and Interviews

After listening to almost their entire discography and watching a couple of interviews.

I'd have to actually love their music first... then... After several performances (so I can judge their live abilities) and interviews/BTS'. I only stan for people I consider to be genuine artist and they have to exceptionally talented in my eyes. Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Kanye West, they're standout artists.

I don't actually stan for very many though. I'd say i'm only active with Beyoncé these days, before that it was Madonna, Janet. Kanye West when I was 14, then Marvin Gaye in my late teens. I've been a Michael and Mariah fan my whole life, so it was different with them.

after watching their performances and interviews

except for with Beyoncé, I was a stan before I even knew what stanning was. I used to record her music videos from my tv onto a VHS tape so I could watch it over and over and learn the choreography

Picked 'other' because I don't stan until I've heard the majority of their discography.

When I realized that Taylor is a goddess walking amongst humanity.

I knew I would stan for her after I finished hearing my first album from her (Butterfly). Though the song "Butterfly" instantly made me a lamb And I bought her album out of curiosity

For Katy and Imagine Dragons it was after hearing California Gurls in 2010 and Demons in 2012. For Skylar it was after she performed on American Idol. So it depends for me.

Performances and then interviews.
Interviews are so important to me idk why

I Stan for different artist when I determine that they have great discographies, not just good singles.

Don't really care if they have a bad personality

Once I've heard majority of an artist's discography.

The day I really took notice of Beyoncé was at the 2006 VMA's when she performed RTA.
I was in awe with how much energy she had as a performer, and she jut kept serving as the eras went on.. There was really no one that drew my attention the way she did and she keeps getting better.
So if the discography suits their capabilities on stage, I tend to stan for it. (unless I don't like the discography all together)...

I don't stan, it's a vile word and I don't use it... I have my faves tho
