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.

Goth Poseur

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 wants to look and sound the part without really being it.

The girl got a beanie with a crocheted visor to prove she didn't wear a beret and wasn't a snob, not because she actually delivered newspapers, magazines, phone books, or any other periodicals for work as a young boy/girl, a teenager, or even a 20 something, because she was a desperate poseur. She had actually always had more money than the people she was trying to make fun of, but wanted to look tougher because she thought she really was tougher.

Poseur

Someone that needs their peers to believe in them, and thinks that everyone else needs the same thing to keep going.

The poseur was a narcissist, she claimed to be different but deep down she saw her own image when she looked at everyone else, and thought that everyone else was the same way.

Poseur

Someone that claims to not care what anybody thinks or about the social status of others, but for some strange reason still tries to tease/make fun of others and make themself look fun/exciting/adventurous/daring in comparison to the other person in the process.

The poseur could see the rungs in everyone's life advancement ladder but his/her own.
