Samurai Wannabee 

A negative phenomenon where foreigners who go to Asia try to look like ancient Japanese Samurai by growing their hair to long lengths, and tying it in a bun at the back (possibly with a lock or two of hair loose for shock affect). They do this because they are confused about their own identity and are actually shallow enough to think that you can become something in complete essence by merely duplicating what it looks like. It is also generally accompanied by growing aesthetically repulsive amounts of stubble with a smile/sneer and *I'm cool attitude*.
Man I can't believe that clown! He comes walking into here looking like a Samurai Wannabee and actually managed to pick up that chick! That guy is such a fake!

indie wannabee

An 'indie wannabee' is someone who wants to be 'indie' In most cases, these people were chavs before, going around getting off with every single lad in school and the all of a sudden, just to fit in with everything else, they claim to be 'indie'
These wannabee's try way too hard. The whole indie look is supposed to be laid back and not put on at all, whereas these wannabee's try way hard with their matching pumps, cardigans and highwaisted shit. Honestly, they need to get back into their 'ecko tracksuits' and stop trying to be indie.
Many 'wannabee indie kids' from the Coventry area, also known as Chaventry, claim to like The Enemy, a local indie rock band. Just because they like The Enemy, this apparently makes the all indie cindys. No, it doesn't. They need to be told.
"You wannabee indie cindys, please fuck off back to your street corner smoking your roll ups and drinking your wkd. You are not indie and never will be, no matter how hard you try, alright!?"
Dee: "I'm a right indie cindy, I am."
Elle: "You're chav turned indie wannabee, actually. You try too hard!"
Dee: Nawww shat ap I iz well indie I iz!"

Gangster Wannabee

Gangster wannabees in most areas usually point more towards latino/hispanics. Because of the still growing population of hispanics that are dominating poorer areas, some areas over populated with these trend-following people.

Guys- MUST have sagging jeans. Dickies is a popular brand. Shirts are usually sport related, have some type of character on it with fake diamonds stitched on (like a be-jewled "gangster" spongbob) are of brands that they don't even know about (like the ever so popular "famous stars and straps" logo that in reality is a SKATEBOARD brand logo) and most often shirts are polos, or plain-t's that are hiddious neon colors, most popular are yellow, green and blue. Shoes are usually expensive sport brand shoes that are named after basketball players, are "limited addition" or things like Reebok, Adidas, K-Swiss and Nike. Hair must have lots of gel that makes it look all sticky and shiny and stiff. It's usually spiked.

girls- Gangster Wannabee girls ALWAYS wear tight name brand jeans that are supposed to show off their asses. Shirts are always revealing. Younger generations of gangster wannabee girls stuff their bras. Must have overly large hoop earings. Fake nails are very popular, as well as gold rings on every finger. Both male and female ware exesive amounts of gold and rarely wear things like silver. Shoes are the same brands as the males and they often spend time comparing shoes and obsessing over keeping them clean. I don't see the point. if you want them clean all the time keep them in a glass box.

Music: Hip Hop, R&b, and Rap.

"reageton" a spanish/english mixed version of rap, hip-hop and r&b is also fairly popular, considering most gangster wannabees ARE latinos.

I don't liek their lifestyles. Girls obess over bein sexy and guys obsess over getting sex and money and it's just so dumb. Especially when middle school kids do it because their just flat out possers by joinging gangs at such you ages. (most gangster wannabes are associated with Crips or Bloods) I've lived this lifestyle before and it feels fake. And it is.

i am not racist against latinos for saying that they are the majority. It IS true, and I am hispanic as well.
typical gangster Wannabee conversation:

Guy: "Hey sexy chica, what up?"
girl: "Nothing, just chillin. Where'd you get you're kicks?"
Guy: "At the mall. they were like $100 dollars."
girl: "daaammmmn. That's hot."

ahaha. Actual conversation I heard.

Super Gay Emo Wannabee Fag

Wannabe Gangster 

Usually white and black kids from a upper class-middle class neighborhood. Listens to only rap (In 2018 mostly trap) music. Usually can be seen in high schools wearing expensive clothing, and wearing pants that show their whole ass, also can be seen smoking weed, throwing gang signs, being a complete douchebag to other people minding their own business, doing very poorly in school and wanting to fight anybody that ticks them off in the slightest manner. Wannabe gangsters are only friends with their own group of other wannabe gangsters and only attract hoes..
