subject wannabe

When a person is talking about a certain famous act (such as a band), and another follower in the conversation decides to say that he/she likes them, yet they can only name their most notable work because they hear it as often as everybody else because. This is usually carried out because they want to appeal to or impress their target of interest.

Person 1: dude i love muse they're so awesome

Person 2: same here

Person 1: can you name two songs by them besides uprising and resistance

Person 2: nope

Person 1: wow what a subject wannabe...
