Hmm. . .could be a tricky one. For the most part, posers are considered to be people who try to fit in with a certain subculture. The most common ones (subcultures) are goths, punks, skaters, emo etc.
There is also other problems posers present:
1) People who are not trying to be a goth/skater/punk/emo etc. may run the risk of being verbally/physically assaulted by the said stereotype, because they believe that the person is a 'poser', and must therefore be eliminated.
2) It becomes difficult to tell the posers and the 'real thing' apart.
3) How do you define a poser? Someone who likes to wear black clothes and listen to more mainstream music than *and everyone shall die drowning in my river of tears slit blood autumn death hearbreak*? Is anyone who likes to skate but is not crazy about it a poser?

1) I was in town today, and a crowd of 'non poser goths' started yelling that I was a poser, simply because I was wearing a black top. They did not take into account the fact that i had a bag which clearly displayed the words 'I Love Kelly Clarkson and Shayne Wark 4 Eva' in btight pink.
2) I saw two skaters today, and my friend told me one of them was a poser. I could not figure out which one it was, until the one on the left came up to me and said 'Yeah? You startin'? You ****ing chav, you ****ing poser'. I could soon make up my mind.
3) I decided to listen to a band that more than 5 people have heard of, and my goth older brother called me a poser and threw me down the stairs.

Get the Shit poster mug.A person who tries being someone they aren't for social acceptance, and is always rejected by the cool kids.
1. Irma tried being like his friends Ryan R and Josh, who dressed and talked black, because they were. Irma began hanging out with them and copying their style right down to their socks, although he felt awkward and looked like an idiot. When he finally realized this, three years later, he tried being preppy like his friends Jim and Ryan W, but couldn't fit in with them either because he wasn't a prep.
2. Irma began watching MTV and BET and was influenced right away. He lived in a rich, crime-free, white collar neighborhood, but tried acting as though he were from the ghettoes of southwest Detroit. He wore baggy Girbaud jeans, a wave cap, and white tees down to his knees, although he looked retarded.
Irma: You are Asian. Black kids don't try to be Asian so why do you try to be black? You are a geek, face it. Popular kids don't try being geeks so why try being a popular kid?
Just be your ownself, you poser

Get the Panty Poser mug.A term used to describe someone who knows the lingo of all the real warriors, killers, and violence slingers... but has never really actually lived that lifestyle. One who has probably got some buddies or some mundane connections to that world and uses those befuddled connections to gain just enough knowledge to sound a little credible on the subject to others like him on blogs and such. The term is a play on words of the phrase " steely eyed killer" which is a way to desciribe those who are or who have lived the life of performance of violence and warriorship on demand.
Vague martial arts credentials, hazy claims of SEAL knowledge, LARPING and queer adoration for all things spec ops (without actually being spec ops) are definitely signs that you are dealing with a steely eyed poser. Or a 14 year old boy.

Blogger A- " Wow I did this blog. This guy is real high speed and he sounds just like those guys from the Predator movie. A real steely eyed killer, ya know?
Blogger B- "No, I bet he paints dolls and SEAL action figures. Probably more like a steely eyed poser."
