{emo/goth, or say they are 'sk8ter' poseurs}Someone who acts different than themselves to look 'cool' to others. They might be shopping at areopostale one day, which they call the "prep store." because poseurs highly listen to stereotypes, but they next day they'll be buying everything at hot topic and buying Converse and then writing on them to be cool.
They often mimic the girls at school who are popular in their cliques and have boyfriends with side parted long hair. So they ditch their old clothes and take notes of what they wear and go to hot topic to buy them I.E. :Yeah i saw a stidded belt on her mypace, so i'm going to go buy one!" Then they buy a pyramid belt because their posuers. or, say their little poseur idols wear headbands but don't even use them to hold their hair back, they rush to claires to buy tons of lime green and black ones. But they on't tell anyone where they got them at, because they also think claire's is a 'prep store.'

they use anything as an axcuse to be emo. I.e. They get a rude comment on myspace and say "i think i'm going to be emo." even though they think emo means tight pants and a razor, with band tee's.

Poseurs call other people posuers, but they spell it "poser." Although the people that tell them this are either not popular, so they don't care, or 2, they were their little idols they mimiced so they tell everyone hlow mean they were to them, so they can act emo, and make themselves be better then them. Even though this is wha...

People who think they are cool but are not. someone who changes their personality so that other people will think they are cooler. a poseur changes their appearance over 1 summer or so. aka getting an entirly new wardrobe just so they can dress like the people they want to be like.

I am doing an etymology on this word and POSEUR is a correct spelling for the term, because the word is French.

not poser. not poser. Not poser. No, it's poseur. Get it straight!

1) somebody who acts like what they're not and pretends to be something.

2) a tag along. somebody who tries to be you or copies you. someone who tries to tag along with you and your friends.

Taken straight from dictionary.com, here is the actual definition of poseur:
po·seur
One who affects a particular attribute, attitude, or identity to impress or influence others.
(French, from poser, to pose, from Old French.)

Contrary to popular belief, poseur can also be spelled "poser".. hence this definition from dictionary.com:
pos·er
1) One who poses. 2) A poseur.

...for those of you who are still in denial, type both spellings into dictionary.com and see for yourselves.

someone who has no idea what the fuck they're supposed to like, so they like what evryone else likes, and they DONT KNOW SHIT about whatever it is. It makes them look like total fags. usually try to skate and say that bands like Good Charlotte and Avril are punk.

Correct spelling of the more commonly used "poser."

One who dresses a certain way for the fashion, but does not listen to the music (applies to many genres of music including punk, ska, indie, metal, etc.)

One who wears skateboarding clothes or shoes, but doesnt skate.

For the Emo bullshit out there:
Most "emo," "scene," or "fashion core" kids (who almost always label themselves) fall under the catergory of poseurs. This is because most of them are only preps in disguise. *There are however, some respectable kids who listen to this genre (or very similar genres) who have liked the bands longer than this emo fad has been around. but for the fake poseurs: Cry me a river--then drown in it.

Some of the most annoying faggots ever. They're extremely fake. They will kill your music and turn it into some kind of fucking fad in anyway they can. Then you see it on MTV--the preppiest channel there is, and you want to kill someone.

FUCK POSEURS.
