A generally derranged indvidual who enjoys listening to, for lack of better words, crap. Boy bands with instruments, if you will. They generally migrate around Hot Topic during the summer and other such days off from school.

A lot of people have been saying to be a "true punk" you have to not give a shit about anyone else, This is false. The whole point is to try to make a difference in the world. to change what's wrong with people and everything else. A poser punk would be one that only listens to their music and dress the way they do for the style, or vision in other people's minds. they do it to be cool. punk is about doing something real. poser punks listen to sell-outs, go to sell-outs for clothes, and in turn, will probably become a lawyer or doctor
Poser Punk: Hey, look at my cool new shirt from hot topic, its says sum 41, they are sooo hot! arent I awesome?
Real: Your life is just a endless cycle where everyone follows the same rules. How bout we not do that, and instead stand up for what we want, and believe. Hey cool a grey shirt for a buck!

people who pose as something or someone they are not because their personalities suck so they tend to dress or act a different way just so they could fit in, and then they call other people poser punks coz they think their status would elevate somehow.
sometimes they can be confused with real punks because of certain issues. for example, a poser punk will listen to bands like blink182 or sum41, but sometimes there are real punks who listen to the said bands because they like it personally. and poser punks dress in all-out punk style, while a few punks dress in regular clothes because it's what they want to wear. as you guys have said, real punks don't care about the trend. they do what they want and they listen to what they want. but posers try to dress and listen to something they think they should want.

This is more of an opinionated definition, so if you don't like it, don't read it.
Now, for all of these people saying that 'poser punks' are people who listen to bands such as 'Sum41' and 'Good Charlotte', etc, and also saying that being a real punk is being unique and pretty much having no guidelines to whatever they do, then why are these people saying that, although being a punk is being unique and having no guidelines, as well as not caring what other people think, then why are they making guidelines by saying that if you listen to a certain band, then you MUST be a 'poser punk'. Excuse my run on sentence if you will, I felt a need for all those commas. Anyways, so if you are trying to have no guidelines, and trying to be unique, it's not going to happen because people still seem to be making rules about being a punk, and not being a punk. Say if you wear safety pins on your hat? Does that make you a 'poser punk' just because you like to do this? Just by listening to a band such a 'Sum41', does that automatically make you a 'poser'? Personally, I don't think so. I think that whatever you want to do, you do it. If you want to be a punk so badly, then follow what you like, whether it be from the mainstream, or something that's entirely new. Thanks for your time, and have a nice day.
