I have found this as the most commonly used word in the circle where I work, it’s like a just another cliché. And half of the people who use it, trust me can’t even define it.
I can’t define it either. As far as I knew about this term, it meant for people who try hard to be someone who they are not, mostly someone famous. That’s it. Nonetheless, it’s one of the most common used slang these days. I mean try wearing a rugged jeans or flashy colored shoes, try new hair cut or walking in public with ear phones on, whatever you do which rest of people don’t, makes you a wannabe.
And irony is most of the people who use the term wannabe are mostly just insecure or may be not confident enough or wannabe themselves.
I m just pissed with the thought of calling someone wannabe. I did have used the term for a lot of people however I had facts to say (I know I m defending myself). But I m pissed because it’s been more than a few incidents when my friends or not so friendly friends called me a wannabe. (So finally offence taken)!!
You are sucha wannabe!!!
What the f***???
I have been called “wannabe” in a situation when I was doing stuffs like:-
a) Walking in mall in my shorts.
b) Listening country songs late night while smoking cigarettes.(( I don’t listen to rap,hip hop as I don’t understand, neither the person you called me wannabe))
c) I bought Red shoes,
d) I had a small pony (very small)
e) I wore old, dirty t-shirt on Friday in the office.
f) I denied listening to “Rang barse” on Holi.
g) I got a picture clicked against my bullet, while facing the sky.(( Guy who called me wannabe is a jerk besides that, he has got 100 pics of his own on FB with the victory sign while smoking pot))
h) Talking to my friends in fake American accent. ( that was supposed to fun, still called me wannabe)
i) I just now bought a chair which doesn’t have a back support just for fun.
j) Writing blogs.
By the way, writing blogs too??? Seriously??? That’s creative… At least I don’t micro blog and say that “I’m having malaria…down with fever”…. (Having malaria with what.. coffee)?? Or “Met with minor accident” ((Where did you meet? say hi from my side too)). Or change location of pubs and bars every hour.
It irks me how commonly it’s in use. How about those who uses very frequently and confidently:
i) Ma or mah instead of my.
ii) Brotha instead of brother.
iii) Dear!! Like yes dear, why dear, hello dear, sure dear.
iv) Posting 100 pics of him/her own, literally 100. And it’s the same taken from mobile or some lame camera; focus on face from all sides; who cares about where it was taken, even at loo
I know free country!!! Nothing wrong with self obsession however what about wannabe then?
If you Google it you may find somewhere that “ A person who thinks that they have the right to talk about people who they don't like; most of the time these people can't even say what they want to a person’s face instead they say it behind someone's back... or they type it on the internet. When in all actuality they are really jealous of the person and want to be more like them.
What is so wrong with acting like someone one can’t ever be? Just because I have never done certain things or nobody “normal” will do that, can’t I do that? Can’t I just do things when I just feel like doing it without giving it much of thought? So instead of keep on doing things which I m supposed to because they like it and they do it and they want it, I would rather call myself a “wannabe”, it feels more good, freedom and carefree.
