The Core Beyonce Stan Demographic: Her core fanbase are female and geigh buppies (or aspiring buppies) ages 16 to 32. She attracts confident and supportive females who surround themselves with other confident and supportive females. She has attracted the type of geighs who are upwardly mobile, but not outwardly messy; instead of making a dramatic cunt scene, they will give you a nice and nasty read and bid you good day and then 2 weeks later you learn that your tires have been slashed, your house has been egged, your credit score has been lowered, and your nude pictures and phone number are all over Facebook.
What Beyonce Stans Want You To Understand: Beyonce stans take a lot of criticsm for being so aggressive and cruel that even Beyonce herself has had to tell them to calm their tits. Underneath the anger, Beyonce stans want you to understand that they don’t give a quarter of a half of a fraction of a percentage of the proceeds from a fuck about your feelings. They don’t care about spending 3 to 5 years in prison to prove a point, what do you think they care about your delusions of Internet grandeur?
Why Her Stans Love Her: Beyonce stans love her because she’s inspiring and successful. She teaches them that if you work hard and have confidence in your abilities, you can manuever through life with class and dignity and still soak up all that the world has to offer.
Why Other Stans Don’t Like Beyonce Stans: Other stans hate Beyonce stans because she’s inspiring and successful. Yes, all Beyonce haters are unaccomplished, ugly, greasy, disgusting, smelly failures who were not hugged as infants, but try to understand the pain behind their hatred. The good sis Maya Angelou (legendary mother of the House of Angelou) said: “It is important not to make human beings into larger-than-life figures” because ordinary people will look at their lives as unreachable and impossible. So you see this woman who is rich, respected, famous, happy, and confident, you may say “I can never be that. Let me find a way to bring her down to my level” or “Let me stan for an untalented, trashy, syphilitic coke-whore, because it’s not as much to live up to.”
In a perfect world, people would look at Beyonce not as a challenge and but as an inspiration. No, you may not ever have Beyonce’s bank account, looks, talent, success, respect or impact, but you can be the Beyonce of your own life. You can be the best teacher/doctor/lawyer/accountant/writer/designer/Target cashier/Chipotle burrito-roller you can be; and you can run the world in your own way.
Biggest Misconception About Her Stans: One of the biggest misconceptions about Beyonce stans is that they are musical and vocal snobs; that because Beyonce represents the best in live entertainment, Beyonce stans will only listen to artists who have horn sections and at least 10 Grammys. The fact is a good number of Beyonce stans could care less about musical instrumentation or experimentation (and the ones that do are too pretentious to function in mainstream society). Most Beyonce stans are no different from other stans: they’re here for hair, clothes, and #1 singles. A significant portion of Beyonce stans are simply stans of basic bitches that recognized good pussy during the Dangerously in Love era and had the foresight to jump on the bandwagon while quietly stanning for their basic favorites. The talent/Grammy/icon card is just an insurance policy for when you start shading Beyonce’s record sales.
Where Beyonce Stans Will Be in 10 Years: Although Beyonce is respected by her stans, critics and legends, some thought should be paid to her influence on younger, less musically-inclined fans. She doesn’t have a reality show, she doesn’t Tweet, WorldStarHipHop has no pictures of her twat and Jay-Z has never busted her in the mouth with a church sock full of quarters. In 1982, this would make you mysterious. In 1992, this would make you a good role model. In 2012, this makes you boring. She’s already impressed music-loving fans, but time will tell how far she is willing to go to impress personality-worshiping fans who make you popular on the Internet, but won’t buy your albums. If she continues to strengthen her reputation as musician (as well as a pop cultural icon) then her fanbase should remain stable for the next 10 years.
