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 still trying to earn their local yokel stripes in their late 30's instead of being themself.

The poseur was a big fish in a small pond back in the small town he was from, where he was a known town bully, and he expected the locals in others places to treat him not only as one of their own, but as the big fish there. He was the kind of guy that robbed a boutique store for female's clothing and sold it back to unsuspecting females to try and get respect from people that didn't even know him, trying to make a name for himself.

poseur

Someone that tries to talk in a dock worker language but has the soul of a perpetual college student or bubble pop adolescent.

The poseur called her husband Daniel Tosh Jr. pal, it didn't sound right because that wasn't her, and really it wasn't him either.

Poseur

Someone that has a different name, look/image, and language than the one they spoke as a kid (a language more like an imitation of someone else's) to get liked/accepted by others more than they were as a kid.

He/she must have wanted to be a poseur when he/she grew up, because he/she is speaking in someone else's tongue instead of his/her own, but then again he/she always imitated other people growing up too, without really ever being someone that other people thought about imitating as a kid.
