(TYPICALLY METAL GENRE) a poser is someone using a specific genre/band as a way to impress someone. for example, if your crush says they like the misfits, you buy a misfits shirt, not knowing any of their songs or anything about them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
little rant-
people keep saying that bands like SOAD, deftones and other "nu metal" bands are poser bands just because they don't sound like black sabbath, metallica, iron maiden, slayer, megadeth, etc. there are many different sub-genres in metal, and it shouldn't restrict to JUST thrash, death, or other "heavier" sub-genres. SOAD and deftones aren't even really nu metal, they just do what they like to do. they're not poser bands. like what you like, and listen to whatever you want to listen to.

Get the posermug. A guy who talks like he's known you his whole life even though he's never met you is a strange kind of poser.
The boy wasn't getting the attention of the kinds of guys (besides knowing what his band's name was) he wanted attention from, so he wrote lyrics about fighting with people he never met before, so that he's got their attention if he really wants it. His target didn't give him much thought before, but now thinks he's a poser.

Get the Posermug. Poser is a person in their 20s or under who dresses so much like a skater that their outfit screams to people that they skateboard yet they don’t even have a skateboard or have one but doesn’t know how to use one but brings it with them but doesn’t use it. Posers may hold their Trucks or do Mongo Pushing and brag about their fake grindings from their skateboard and that they’re so good at skateboarding, Until someone asks them to do an Ollie and ends up getting injured causing themselves to be embarassed and everyone calling them “Posers”
Kid: Hey! Do a Kickflip!
Poser: Oh Uh Okay… “Attempts an Ollie and falls”
Kid: Do you even SKATE mister?
Poser: Um of course I do, I’ve been skating for years!
Kid: Then how did you fail trying an Ollie??
Poser: Look… I’m just aaaaa burnt out okay.
Kid: Okay then, Poser!
Poser: Oh Uh Okay… “Attempts an Ollie and falls”
Kid: Do you even SKATE mister?
Poser: Um of course I do, I’ve been skating for years!

Kid: Okay then, Poser!

Get the Posermug. This guy named ChEFF Tron. He's a huge fake ass poser. This guy thinks he's clever and smart but has no genuine characteristics of his own. He tries to act like a high and mighty holy roller but that's as phony as his personality. He won't shut up about how hot his 150 year old wrinkled ass mummy of a wife is either. This idiot thinks because everyone smiles to his face that they're not talkin shit about how stupid he is behind his back. He has no real friends just people that tolerate him.
Ah shit, here comes Poser ChEFF. Did he see me? Ah Fuck, he did! Just smile and laugh and try not to punch him in his phony ass face.

Get the Posermug. The Bass player from nefarious is a total poser! Saw him in a hoodie and the blowfish cover band. Now he plays in a metal band. There’s a poser in the punch bowl!

Get the There’s a Poser in the punch bowl!mug. One who attempts to make friends or become closer friends with a group of people by feigning interest in a particular area of culture (music, clothing, social activities).
Generally a poser is someone who lacked friends for not fitting in with any real group, they decided to become more like everyone to make friends. Sometimes they actually do become legitimately interested in the new groups lifestyle, but oftentimes they only pretend and lead a life of lies

"John thinks he's a punk rocker, I asked him about punk rock music, and he told me all about 'Teenagers' by My Chemical Romance and 'Know Your Enemy' by Green Day. I asked him what his other favorite songs by those bands were and he told me he thought they were one-hit wonders. I guess he's a bit of a poser"
Sidenote: Green Day is awesome but if you only listen to their most recent two albums, then you can't call yourself a fan... or knowledgeable about the subject.
