There, stan accounts also directly draw inspiration from Black Twitter, which influences the rest of the platform in the same way that Black slang inspires mainstream slang terminology.

Stan culture flourishes across platforms, and once primarily existed on Tumblr, but has most recently centered itself on Twitter. But "stanning" is a point of pride for the online communities who skew young and queer. "Stan" itself is internet slang, inspired by the Eminem song "Stan" about an obsessed fan who becomes increasingly unhinged.
#VSCO APP MEANING TV#
Stan culture and "stans" refer to online fan communities, such as those that praise k-pop groups, musical artists like Ariana Grande and Beyoncé, franchises like Marvel movies, TV series, social media stars, and so on. It's understandable that terms like "tea," and "wig," which signifies being shocked ( it stems from "wig flew" or "my wig flew off") would enter stan culture, since there's heavy overlap between the two communities. "In a sort of cultural appropriation typical of white Americans, it doesn't even seem to be African American anymore." So-called stan culture and VSCO girl terminology like "tea," "wig," and "periodt" actually originate in Black gay slangĪdams, who teaches English at Indiana University and has been studying slang for around 30 years, says "tea," which means gossip, as an example, originated decades ago in the Black gay community. "You see something that is very typical of American slang, which is that it draws a lot on African American slang in the same way that American music draws very heavily on jazz and blues and African American music traditions," Adams told Insider. Not only are some of the terms more dated than their contemporaries may realize, but many of them originate in the Black community. Stans will argue that they were the ones to use "sksksk," "and I oop," "wig," "periodt," and "tea" in the first place, and the language is still widely used in their current internet vernacular.īut linguist Michael Adams says that neither stans nor VSCO girls are the true originators of many of the internet's most commonly used phrases.
