From "poseur." This usually refers to someone who attempts to be part of a clique punk, skater, goth, etc. - never preppy, but out of a desire to be recognized as a member of that clique rather than sincerity. Of late, however, the word has been overused; any newcomer is now generally considered a "poser," regardless of motive.
This word is especially popular in rambling, misspelled sessions on AIM.

1. "Look at him - he dresses in black and says he's a goth, but he's never even read Edgar Allan Poe. What a poser."

word used by people who are very insecure in their own social standing; the entire concept of someone being a poser demeans the true concepts of "antisocial" "cultures" that people seem so eager to jump into; often used by people who are not only hypocritical and judgmental, but who also can't spell poseur .

someone who will be someone theyre not just to try to fit in and manipulate people. They pretend to be whatever is 'cool' at the moment than be themselves and who they really are. Then call other people posers to hide the fact they're one.
Posers spend most of their time wasting thier life away on myspace with the rest of the emo losers. They feel special they made friends with some other nobodies who no one even gives a shit about while the real popular people are making friends with known and important people.

A dumbass hypocrite trendwhore conformist asshole who can't think for his/herself. They like anything their friends like, like a band, and usually don't know any songs by that band. When you ask them they usually say they like all of their songs and never mention one.
They also like Anything thats popular and usually don't know any music beyond mainstream. Loves to jump on bandwagons and bash things other people bash. They love to be "cool", they will try to call YOU a poser, even though you aren't labeling yourself, like they are.
Oh, and if you call Good Charlotte posers just because everyone else does, you're technically THEE poser, because you're being a conformist. I don't like Good Charlotte anyway, but people need to stop bashing them.

People who buy rock and "punk" t-shirts at places such as Nordstrom and Meier and Frank, for $40 dollars, then flaunt them off on their "Myspace".....and call themselves punks and/or rockers.....
*True Story* Poser in a Pink shirt.....
A girl I knew was wearing a Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon shirt. (Pink Floyd is my favorite band.) I asked her where she got it. She responded, "Nordstrom, isn't it freakin' wicked?!" (Exact Qoute, just imagine it in a ditsy voice). So I then ask her, "What's your favorite Pink Floyd song?
"Dark Side of the Moon, duh!"
"Song, not Album..."
"It is a song, it says so on the shirt!"
(For those of you who don't get it....there is no Pink Floyd song called Dark Side of the Moon, it's in the lyrics....)
