A poser can be more than a goth wanna be... A poser is anybody who claims to be something they are not. Or, really acting one way yet not being true to who you are or the people around you.
You can act like you have morals and are respectable then turn around and not have any real depth or emotional intelligence. It's like saying one thing than doing another. Just to look good or acceptable in the moment whether that's for popularity or even to truck somebody into giving you what you want. In other words your a total fake. Your word doesnt mean anything or hold any value because you are Such A Poser ..

Victor claimed to be a good guy from a very religious family, but the selfish behavior he displays is not of someone who cares about others, or morals, and integrity, untrustworthy, he is such a poser.

Someone who is always on TikTok, and whenever they hear a trending song, they call it a “TikTok song," as well as randomly singing the trending part out loud, claiming they love the song, let alone believing any rumors they come across.
“No way i love that band”
“Oh yeah, whats your favorite song?”
“idk what its called, its from tiktok”
“Tiktok poser”

A person either boy or girl who changes they're looks and personality to fit in with another social clique. Like around one bunch of friends they will act emo and listen to depressing music and talk about how much their lives suck, but when they're around another bunch of friends they will act like a ganster listening to rap and wearing baggy pants and bling. Most 'posers' do not actually like the things they have to do to fit in, but they're are so set on being accepted they will do the things they are totally against. They also tend to copy other peoples styles then tell the person they copied it from that 'they made the style up'. Most people are posers because it's so damn hard to be an individual now-a-days (!). Oh and they also tend to label themselves a lot.

The girl with the can of spinach tattooed on her arm would act like she was from the South Side of Chicago even though she wasn't even from Illinois and didn't live a day on Central time as a kid. She wanted to show people how much tougher she was than them, that was why she did all this poser stuff.

Derived from the judgmental label "poseur", this word with obvious origins and usage attributed to Canada is most often used by hosers, and a recent influx of wanna-be posers. See also: insecure losers.
