poser

someone so needy for attention they act like a fag to get it.
People who think that going to Hot Topic and dying their hair black and listening to Linkin Park makes them cool. They deny the whole indie/goth culture by a)supporting Hot Topic, a multimillion dollar corporation that only wants MONEH! b) doing what EVERYONE with more than a thousand friends on MySpace has done. c) supporting Linkin Park who have a contract with a huge record label that doesn't care about music, just money.
What a fuckin' poser! He bought that Good Charlotte shirt at Hot Topic.

People who will deny themselves and take personalities that are mass-produced by corporate America.

People who like the Ramones more than X or Minutemen because they had more chart success.

Poser

Someone who acts like they're from Baltimore even though they're from outside Harrisburg. Someone who has not only a thousand different screen names or online profiles, but also has fictional hometowns or current locations, fictional lives to go with them. A poser tries to outdo other people at silliness while trying to get taken more seriously than everyone else.
The poser was always this and that, always under somebody else's skin to make himself/herself look/feel more authentic. The poser wanted an authentic image.

Poser Goth.

Someone who dresses Goth, but doesn't pay enough attention to Goth lyrics to understand that to be Goth is to listen to the music, and also to rebel against the mainstream. If you see someone in a Bauhaus shirt, but they are talking like this: "bruh for real. Bro what. Bro says. Bro this, bro that. That's lit. That's fire ", it's a good chance they are a poser.
"Bro, broooooo bro." Bro- a term used by normal people, that is rejected by alternative subcultures. Slang denotes a poser Goth.

Cinderella poser

Somebody with a spoiled rotten middle class sense of desperate and urgency, usually in reference to winning sports games.
The Cinderella poser loved to preach about desperation and being one of the marginalized folks, but she didn't actually know anything about being desperate or marginalized from life experience, which is why she was the worst kind of senseless person, the kind that didn't know she wasn't an unbearable enemy, or that she had no common sense.
