the dickheads who give real emos a bad name by either forcing themselves to listen to to emo bands they don't even like or listening to crap bands they THINK are emo. Also fake depression+ have bad hair.
Wannabe emo boys look all pathetic and have gelled-down-to-look-longer hair. Wannabe emo girls are usually really fat, will wear heartagram or Emily The Strange shit and have REALLY, REALLY long black or brown hair.
Wannabe emo kids wear: crap jeans, button-down tops which look more like school shirts than anything, crappy band tees, Heartagram tees, fake Converse, plain black shoes/trainers, plain black glasses, Emily The Strange, etc.
Alot of them also say they're bi/gay when they're NOT.
Wemo hobbies: writing 'sad' poetry, listening to 'depressing' music, self-harming, sitting in corners, crying, writing 'sad' diary entries (eg: Dear diary, today was a very regular, boring day, but because I fake depression, I'm going to say it was terrible and everything went wrong. Gotta go and self harm, bye, you're the only one who understands<3)
Wannabe emo must-haves: Emily The Strange tee, crap hair, plain black shoes/trainers, razorblades, fake blood, horn-rimmed glasses, black/grey straight-leg jeans, shitty band tees and anti-depressants. Oh yes, and the diary to write poetry and 'depressing' entries in.
Mum/Dad: Hey, kid, how was school today?
Wannabe emo kid: thinking 'meh, it was ok' SO, SO DEPRESSING. I'MA WRITE SUCKISH POETRY, PRETEND TO SELF-HARM AND TAKE ANTI-DEPRESSANTS.

a wannabe emo is most definntly someone who cuts themselves and says "i bleed for you but my world is black". wanna be emos listen to the used, green day, my chemical romance, from first to last, and hawthorne heights and think they can get away with it. they will walk around in their new emily the strange shirt and go "i wish i had more friends". wanna be emo girls usually have long brown or black hair and they are hippos or they are very ugly. they think wearing heartogram clothing is emo. cutting yourself is not emo and nor is sitting in the corner and crying over nothing, your lifes probably better than a celbrity. they will usually get all their hair chopped of and wear pretty little bows in them. wanna be emo boys, well i never met one of them. the nightmare before christmas isnt emo nor those freakily cartoons. most of them get thier inspiration from adam and andrews "Emo kid" song. none of that is emo. if you smear your eyeliner and take 798549875978 pictures of it and show your cutmarks your a poser. they usualyy have screen names like "wItHiN i BlEeD a PuDdLE Of ReD" or "HiDdEn CriEs WiThIn". i could say more but i think i layed down the law :)
BlEeDmYsOuL12:my life sucks so bad my mom wouldnt let me buy mcrs new cd so i cut myself.

Amnesitynclarity: oh, your such a wannabe emo

BlEeDmYsOuL12: no im not your jealous, im going to cut my arms and watch the blood come down. then im going to cry within and never let out my fellings god why dosent anyone like me

Girls: Pose for pictures to put on their myspace account, downloads one Taking Back Sunday song and classes themselves as emo, their MSN names overcrowded with X's and dashes, eg: "xxSlitWristTheoryxx." Put stars all over their clothes and anything they own. Love the colour pink. Own one pair of converse. And maybe a pair of dickies. They ruin all decent music some how.

The Guys: Pink shirts, belts, stars, slightly camp fashion sense. Shop at TopMan oftenly.Own a pair of pink converse, and model their hair based on either Tom Delonge or Dougie from McFly.

My first bad experience of a wannabe emo/trendy...
emobitchkidudething: "Do you think if i was to spray a witch with water she would melt?"

Me: "No, because witches are human..."

emokidbitchthingywhateverijustsaid: "Oh right okay *Sprays me with a water gun*"

Me:"...bitchface..."

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)

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
emo wannabe girl - so i bought some converse at the weekend.

real kid - great, i heard you got a ticket to the used show later this week?

wannabe - YEAH! cant wait. great place to tell everybody about how emo i am and i can express my pain.

real kid - why? the shows about listening to the music and why the heel did you just label yourself emo...all the idiots do that...your really low
