Wannabe is someone who emulates that style of dress attitude but doesn't live the life it seems more like a presumptive word at one time we wore whatever our caretakers made us wear as we got older we saw different styles of dress that may have appealed to our sense of fashion so we began mimicking that style of dress no one is born wearing mascara or dressed like a skater gangster etc.. We wore whatever we thought would attract a mate fit in, be cool whatever the point is the clothing make-up hairstyle had to be witnessed first so in that sense we are all wannabes If it makes you feel confident and empowered to take on the world then Rock it girlfriend!!!
He's dressed like a skater what a total wannabe
