One of the most overused, meaningless, and shittiest words used in our society today. Here are the posers:
1: Someone who tries to be something they're not. Ex. A goth who pretends to be a punk or vice-versa.
2: A shitty label for a band such as Good Charlotte. People who use this word on "poser-punk" bands have no idea that they are not posers, and even if they were, who cares? Being a poser has nothing to do with music. Real posers are singers/bands that claims to be something else.
3: A puzzling question.
poser = Avril Lavigne, Hilary Duff, Bowling for Soup

not a poser = Blink-182, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan

I listen to and enjoy ALL of the bands I just mentioned. Even the posers.

A word for people in high school who are idiots. They don't know what they are talking about, and when you ask them a name of a song from a band, they cry and cut themselves because they don't know what they are talking about.
"I like Sex Pistols. No, I don't know any songs...Yeah... I'm a poser."

1. Someone who does something they dont want/like to do to please people whether it be punks, goths or even preps. yes, preps.
2. Someone who doesn't act like themselves.
1. Why is that prep trying to act like a hardcore person? What a poser ~or~ why is that hardcore person trying to be preppy? What a poser.
2. You can only tell if someone is a poser if you ask them if they like being hardcore or preppy or whatever. If they dont and they say they're only like that to please others then they are a poser. If you define a poser by what they where then all goths are posers and all preps are freaks.
3. I am sorry if i have offended anyone.

Posers are people who "pose" as something they're not, pretend to look like a group of people, like punks, headbangers or stoners, usually related to music.
That was the simple way, now here's the real definition, according to me: Posers are usually people that don't fit in, so trying to fit in, they act like the people around them, pretending to like the music, have the attitude, and also dressing like them. I will use as an example the tipical poser stoner.
A lot of people don't like stoners, is it because they smoke weed, act like that or because they think that stoners are hippies or something like that, but i think stoners are cool people to be around, i would actually call myself one. But the poser stoner don't really think like his friends, so here are some of the things a poser stoner usually do:

smoke weed as a drug, not as a way to think about life and have fun
Struggle through Dark Side of The Moon and call himself a Pink Floyd fan, and when someone is talking about pink floyd, all he has to say is "they're great! i love their attitude! DSOTM is a great album!"
Can't chill and listen to a Jimi Hendrix song, he has to headbang or air guitar his way through the song
Fills his Ipod with Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix songs, even though he hasn't listened to any of those since he was in his friend's.
Thinks surfing is a way to show off to his/her friends
If offered some drug as meth, coke or crack, he/she would deffinitely do it
That's all i know about posers, if you spot one, fuck him, let it be
