staym

staym is a term that has emerged in online communities, particularly those related to K-pop fandom. It is a portmanteau, a blending of the words "stay" and "stream." The term "stay" refers to the fandom name for the K-pop group Stray Kids, and "stream" refers to the act of repeatedly listening to or watching a song or music video, typically on digital platforms like YouTube or Spotify.

Therefore, "staym" specifically denotes the collective effort by fans of Stray Kids to increase the viewership and listening numbers for the group's music. This practice is common in K-pop fandoms, where fans organize streaming parties and campaigns to boost their favorite artists' chart performance, gain recognition, and show support. The goal of "staym" is to contribute to the success of Stray Kids by ensuring their music reaches a wider audience and achieves high rankings on music charts. This collective action is a significant aspect of modern fan culture, demonstrating the power of organized fanbases in the digital age.
