hardcore poseur

Someone who pretends to hate anything mainstream, just so they can look cool or like they're punk.

Billie Joe doesn't want to watch Titanic, because he is a hardcore poseur. Yet he has no problem with watching Twilight.

Poseur Punk

Simply put, crappy punk-rock music.

I think it's funny how 'punks' bitch about how poseur a certain band is, or how band X "is SO much more punk" than band Y, when in reality these 'poseur punk bands' are simply CRAPPY punk bands.

poseur straight edge

One who begins to act straight edge for fashion, rather than physical or emotional health. Usually poseur straight edges can be identified by being 13-15, ages when most have no choice but to be straight edge, but few choose to flaunt it. Pen-drawn X's on the back of the hands are one of the only things that is similar between a real straight edge and a poseur straight edge. Poseur straight edges are essentially whatever clic the individual was before they found that marker, plus two black x's. These kids usually are not part of the hardcore scene in itself, but try to salvage their integrity by listening to watered-down, cookie cutter hardcore music.

Ernest: Hey! That kid looks hardcore straightedge! Oh wait! He is wearing dickies shorts and 130 dollar skater shoes and he has blonde hair! Whoops!

poseur

How a poser spells "poser".
As the online etymology dictionary states, "The word is English poser in French garb, and thus could itself be considered an affectation."
The French word "poseur" is absolutely not used in that context, which further points out that this spelling is not the correct, original one.

-"Poseur."
-"Poser."

poseur

Someone that doesn't like their own shit, they like what they think other people would like, so that other people will like them.

Bach von Hitler never liked Nirvana as a kid, she liked Barney the Purple Dinosaur and Lil Kim, but now she's claiming to be a Nirvana fan because her brother she never got along with influenced her taste in music, which is bullshit coming from a poseur's mouth of the south, and trying to draw attention to the gift horse's mouth, as always.

Poseur

Someone that goes the Joan Rivers route after trying the high route and every other route. Someone that made fun of something or someone, then turned into it.

The poseur always used to make fun of people that were different or not like him/her at school, next thing you know, he/she is claiming to be different/colorful/quirky in another town than the one he/she went to school in where hardly anybody from his/her town knows him/her well enough (from childhood) to notice this bullshit. Now he/she goes by a different name and image, one closer to an imitation of the people he/she once made fun of.
