Also spelled "Poseurcore", the word is a rip on all of the bands that think they kick ass, but in real life, they're fucking poseurs. Examples include: Most bands with "-core" at the end of the genre name, all Emo bands, the Warped Tour lineup, and recent Green Day.
Coined in this conversation outside a Hot Topic:

Friend: "Dude, those bands piss me off! Come on, Christcore?! Metalcore?! Give me a break."

Me: "We should just group all those bands together and call it 'Posercore'."

Friend: (Laughs)

Posercore is an aesthetic used by people who can't fully settle on one aesthetic fully. It's an aesthetic that uses multiple parts of different aesthetics to make one. For example, if someone wanted to be goth but only liked the fashion of goth, and they also liked coquette, they would be posercore. Though, posercore isn't just mixing two aesthetics, there has to be a core part of atleast one of the combined aesthetics missing to make posercore.
"Wow, she's able to pull off posercore with two opposite aesthetics, sick."

"I wanna wear a posercore outfit today!"
