Poser

Someone who is not who they say they are.

Even if he/she filed his/her teeth down into serrated edges and wore black contacts, he/she still wouldn't have anybody convinced that he/she was really a shark. He/she was a poser, posing as a man eating denizen of the seas.

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.

Poser

Someone that says they encourage disagreement even though they can't really take disagreement or opposition to them, and people have already ended up in jail or worse for standing up to them. Someone that only says they respect other people, their experience, their beliefs, or their opinions because they know they want other people to respect them, and not because they actually respect anything about the other person.

The poser always talked to people like she owned the place and had authority over over to encourage/discourage them to do things. She never held anything or anyone (except possibly herself) sacred enough to respect it/them.
