Sad pathetic losers, who think they are Emos just because they made their parents buy them a pair of converses. They buy lots of albums such as Taking Back Sunday's and make sure everybody knows, so that they appear to be and emo and to be included in the scene. however they still buy their clothes from mark one, and were townie jeans and tops and don't understand at all what they are getting into. they think they're really cool, but the people who really are emos think they are sad and generally pity them.

An emo wannabe is usually some nerd or loser who doesn't have any friends. They go on google and look up 'emo' alot and then go buy a whole bunch of crappy cheap stuff. Like: fake converse, weird stripy arm warmers, and all black clothing. Then they get obsessed with totally mainstream 'emo' bands like My Chemical Romance or Fall out Boy. They totally redecorate their Myspace and make it all dark and depressing and talk about hate and how emo they are. And then, they post up weird 'emo' pictures of themselves. Oooh and they wear way too much eyeliner and paint their nails black. They try to attract the attention of SCENE kids and go around talking about how depressed they are. Emo wannabes usually don't end up looking 'emo' they just look like some weird scary nasty looking gothish...freak. 'Emo' wannabes also have an unhhealthy obsession with Twilight and Vampires. :D
Emo Wannabe: Look at meee! I'm so depressed and dark! And I dyed my hair all black! Lookit my black clothes!!!
Scene Kid: What the flick?
Emo Wannabe: Hey! OMG! You're emo too! Let's be friends! I looove My Chemical Romance! It helps me when I'm totally depressed and sad.
Scene Kid: Ummm...okay, first of all, I'm not emo. And second of all, I don't even listen to My Chemical Romance.
Emo Wannabe: What aboot Fall Out Boy! Omg! I love Pete Wentz! He is like, soooo hawt! I love Twilight! Edward Cullen is like, the hottest vampire in the world! I cry beccause of him all the time!
Scene Kid: Umm...I don't listen to Fall Out Boy, either. And I'm pretty sure that Edward Cullen doesn't exist. Oh and I'm also pretty sure that you're some kind of emo wannabe, gothish, freak. So...Bye!

That kid who wears all black, skeleton necklaces and rings, a choker from Clair's, shops at hot topic, thinks Billie eillish is emo but the moment an actual emo tries talking to them about emo stuff they sound like a total idiot cause they don't know anything about the emo culture or what it actually means to be emo. A wannabe emo will usually say that have deppression cause they took a quiz on BuzzFeed. Wannabe emos are usually about 12-15 girls who probably have cheap box red hair dye.
Actual emo: I saw you at hot topic the other day
Emo wannabe: oh yeah I'm so emo, I go their all the time
Actual emo: what's your favorite emo musician?
Wannabe emo: Billie eillish! Ocean eyes is my favorite song!
Emo wannabe: oh yeah I'm so emo, I go their all the time
Actual emo: what's your favorite emo musician?
Wannabe emo: Billie eillish! Ocean eyes is my favorite song!

A stupid person who thinks they are emo, a person who made their parents take them to footlocker so they could buy a pair of converse and only own one black t shirt that they wear everyday and deny that they've been wearing the same nightmare before Christmas shirt for two months. They have virtually no idea how to wear makeup and sneaks their mom's black eyeshadow or results to coloring on their eyes with a black pastel crayon, claiming that it is makeup. An emo wannabe is a total poser who is too afraid to actually cut themselves and usually just scratch themselves with a bent paperclip and try's to pass it off as "scars" when you don't even break the skin.
Emo: *talking to other emos* Guys, that slipknot concert Saturday was like, so awesome I almost screamed like a stupid conformist fan.
Emo wannabe walks over: I know, right?!
Emo: umm, what are you doing?
Emo Wannabe: Oh, just um, talking to my fellow emos!
Emo: your not emo, you poser
Emo Wannabe: yeah I am! Look at my scars (shows emos faint red marks on wrist) and my totally awesome Gir backpack I got from Hot Topic the other day, its like, way cool!
Emo: Stfu emo wannabe, get a life.

Someone who likes the emo culture and wants to be part of it but doesn't cut themselves or even feel remotely sad, just wants to "fit in" which defeats the whole objest of emo anyway!!!
Emo Kid: I cut myself all the time
Emo Wannabe: Erm, yeah, me too, 'cause like I'm an emo right?
Emo Kid: Lets see your scars
Emo Wannabe: Erm, I gotta go... Mum's calling me for erm, tea.
Emo Kid: Whatever!
