All wannabes are bad, but Emo wannabes annoy me the most. They can usually be seen wearing a band top/hoodie which they don't even listen to, jeans or black trousers, fake Converse or chunky trainers, cheap black & red or black & white stripy gloves, wrist bands (usually checkered) and braclets, stitch band names on their school bags and put badges of HIM and Greenday on their hoodie and/or bag, and if they take their wannabe-ness to another level, they might dye their hair black and/or get a stud. They usually have no knowledge whatsoever of the Emo music and how the whole thing works, but they want to be differant so they turn to the emo crowd. One day they think to themselves: "I want to be cool like that guy" so the next school day the completly change their look and have a go at their friends for because they don't like Emo music, even though they don't know it themselves. In their MSN names, they sometimes display flowers (which usually face down), the letters are "uSuAlLy SpElT lIkE tHiS" and make up a very un-convincing depressing quote. They will also try to be random, which means they'll pretend to find 'cheese' and 'pie' funny.
Scene Kid: So what's your favourite Fallout Boy song?
Emo wannabe: Umm.... the one with that reindeer guy!
Scene Kid: You mean "Sugar, we're going down"?
Emo wannabe: Oh yeah that's what it's called I forgot!
Scene Kid: Haha! You're such a wannabe loser...

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

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!

Emo wannabes will want to act like they're the real thing,which of course, they're not. The emo-girl wannabes will like to go to 'Claires' and 'Ardene' and buy damn cheap skull necklaces and emo-stripe gloves. They think just because they try to dress like the real emos they think they're a part of it. And HEY, those boneheads will do anything to be LIKE an emo but they never will understand what it is. If another emo tries to strike up a conversation to test them, they'll give a lame excuse and get out of it. They'll dye their hair, go to freaking Hot Topic, all those. But hello, those airheads know NOTHING about the emo culture.
emo kid:I saw you in Hot Topic yesterday.
emo wannabe:Yeah! I got these awesome skull t-shirts and stuff!HEEHEE!
emo kid: Why.
emo wannabe:Cuz I'm like a emo! And everyone knows emos lyke bands lyke Metro Station and stuff lyke thaaat!
emo kid: (fuck off)

Someone that thinks they are Emo but aren't. They claim to like the same music and cut themselves although not all emos cut themsleves. So they usually end up dying their hair and going to Hot Topic and buying band shirts although they dont listen to them. They also act depressed.
Emo: Omg did you go to that Black Veil Brides on Sunday? It was totally Awesome! (talking to their Emo friends)
Emo Wannabe: Yea I went I really like the drummer, Charles!
Emo: Umm his name is Christian...
Emo Wannabe: Ohh Yea, I uhh forgot...
Emo: Whatever Emo wannabe (walks away with friends)
Emo Wannabe: Yea I went I really like the drummer, Charles!
Emo: Umm his name is Christian...

the groups of kids, usually preps, who deciede they want to be part of this whole emo scene we have going on at the moment. they do this as they believe its cool and the thing to do when actually they end up looking like idiots as you can tell their fakeness.
1)when one deciedes they want to become emo, the first step is to buy a pair of converse, (the girls usually go for pink), as they see other "emo" kids wearing them. if they're really brave they might go a stap further and buy some checkered vans...how hardcore of them.
2)this is the stage when they add themselves to myspace and browse the whole site looking for the real 'uns to add. most of the time they can be rejected but the ones who do accept them regret it later as they realise wannabe has now copied their layout,name etc.
they also take a photo of themselves,camera above them or in the mirror, with a screwed up look on their face to express their co-called pain.
3)the image change stage- this is the stage where mr & miss wannabe go and buy some new clothes to make them appear more emo. the girls find a cheap studded belt and some cheap-ass jewellery and some lame-ass t-shirt. the boys are them same too.
the really hardcore wannabes also dye their hair at this stage. they usually go for the black or reddish colour and mention the recent dye jobs at every chance they get stating they felt like "rebelling against their parents".
4) this is where they branch out and try going to a show. they move their lips a lot pretending they know the words when they dont or only know the choruses. the brave ones go up to the real kids and try to make convosation with them about their pain and deathwishes. none of which they have.
so their, we have it. the 4 main stages of emo wannabe-ness. of course we have other tiny changes we see happening in between but lets face it, the wannabes aren't helpin themselves,are they?
EMO WANNABES ALWAYS ADMIT TO BEING "EMO". REAL KIDS HAVE THE SELF RESPECT AND KNOW NOT TO LABEL THEMSELVES BECUASE IT LOWERS YOU
