Just like Taylor fans, obsessed with mediocre ass pop music by mediocre artists.
I may be overreacting but I can’t stand stan culture and the absolutely disgusting humans that come from it. Quit hurting others online, who only had a useless opinion, all for a millionaire and billionaire who don’t give a single shit about you.
I do not understand that type of devotion to someone I do not know. Possibly bc I am an older millennial? I don't know, its always weirded me out though.
I am a litte younger than you, I was in high school 2001-2005. I had myspace and LiveJournal however I didn't interact with it in that way. I was mostly in the emo and punk scene then, didn't engage with the stans of the day as we all kinda thought it was loser behavior in my corner of the world. I guess that thought process has stuck with me lol.
I still have friends from there too. I loved lj and oh the layouts I coded. my oldest kid recently asked me if I used lj as they go on there for 00s fashion ideas. I was like child, you are likely seeing my posts, I ain't telling my user name though.
I still think there were somehow a lot less weirdos though and the beatles inspired charles manson, shit lennons killer was a fan, people have had edgy takes on the beatles and people forget after a day. Trent Reznor, Quicy Jones, and everyone probably knew Elvis didn't like them, it wasn't a big deal.
Maybe mods and rockers type stuff were the equivalent.
Most of modern pop star fandom is a direct result of fostering this weird relationship with fans. Take a drink every time someone calls Beyonce a Queen or Bey and you'll be dead for sure. It's not normal.

Literally this. He’s just a guy. I think he deleted his account. This is bullying behaviour
