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

Someone that liked Barney the purple dinosaur, Power Rangers, Lil Kim, Britney Spears, and a bunch of other bubblegum pop or mainstream music as a kid and tried to make fun of "weird" music like Nirvana, Nine Inch nails, or even Marilyn Manson, (calling it devil's music or music for people obsessed with sex) then at an oppurtune time in life when he/she sees an advantage or benefit in doing so, claims to love this kind of music and memorizes all the songs, lyrics, and life stories about them so that he/she will beat anybody (Buzz Lightyear style) at his/her superficial, trivia kind of knowledge of music history game about each band.

The poseur doesn't listen to the music to go back to another time, it's not really anywhere in his/her memory or heart, he/she holds nothing sacred, it's just a means to an end for him/her to try and gain newfound stripes with a group of people that he/she hopes won't see right through him/her.

Poseur

Someone that has a screen name on a website they use to tell people in a town they had relatives from an area of that town, though their relatives are from a different part of the country to try and gain the trust of the residents of the town, all to try and walk all over them all by calling them NIMBY's when they oppose, disagree, or resist the poseur.

The poseur was an instigator, a self-described liar with a big ass mouth, the kind of person to lock down their town with lies, so why would anyone trust someone like that? If the poseur said that she wouldn't have a building demolished there (even though the poseur wasn't even from there originally) why would anyone believe the poseur? Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

poseur

Someone that gets on social media to post about "living" by showing off a picture of themself climbing a hill or doing something else that makes them look "active", then rants about other people that use social media to talk about life, even though they're on social media themselves.

If living is what that poseur is doing, I don't want any part of it. I like my life the way it is, and if the poseur has anything to say directly to anybody that he/she has deemed more passive than him/her, why doesn't he/she?
