A broke poser receiving public assistance who tries to get close to celebrities or other wealthy people without spending any money. Then they brag to others about their ability to frequent places where famous people spend time. Their reports are meant to make them seem important and/or wealthy, even though they are actually receiving some form of welfare.
The Welfare Wannabe camped in a tent near the home of a multi-million dollar home owned by a celebrity, and then reported that he was vacationing on the property adjacent to the home of the celebrity.

those people who say they stay up all night and never do their homework and are rude to their parents and teachers but really they go to bed at 10 pm, finish their homework by 8, brought their teacher a cookie on their birthday, and are sweet as fuck to their parents

This is usually a group of bored teens, who live in a small town, city or village, that idolize bigger city gangs, as seen on TV or movies. They crave acceptance, attention & usually don't have any positive role-models in their lives. Originated in Sandusky, Ohio, due to the local teens' obsession with big city gangs.

Pretty much every pretentious alpha male who has worked for one of the big four banks in NZ. Typically possesses a hugely inflated sense of self with little time or patience for anyone that doesn't fit the mold of white, financially thriving, photogenic or doesn't look like they belong at the Boxing Day races or America's Cup shenanigans. Most likely has a massive mortgage for some dodgy semi-renovated villa in Ponsonby or Grey Lynn, just because those suburbs are designed to accommodate people who are 'cultured'. The PB Wannabe are only into women who wear one of those tacky gold Cartier bangles that you can't get off without a key and considers Jane Birkin to be their 'muse'.
If you don't know Patrick Bateman Wannabe's coffee order off by heart, consider yourself an unprofessional loser who needs more formal training.
