Poser

A poser is a generally slanderous insult with no truthful backing. It is often used among teenagers depending on what someone wears.

However, the literal definition is someone who attempts to 'pose' or not be their actual self, to fit in among others.

"Dude, John came in wearing an Adio jacket and skater shoes today."
"Are you serious? He doesn't even skate. Man, what a poser."

Truthfully, this by no means suggests that John was actually attempting to pose as a skater. He just bought the clothes he wanted.
