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

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.

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.

Poser

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.

Poser

Someone who is not who they say they are.
She would pose as a gangster, a badass tough little son of a bitch from the streets of Chicago, or a tough/scary little 4'11 broad from New York, but in reality the girl was nothing like the characters she was posing as (though she saw them in herself), she was a poser from outside Harrisburg who wanted to be these other folks, since her life was more painful than anybody else's to her.

Poser

Someone who tries to come off as serious and as someone who doesn't take themself too seriously at the same time, without really being either one.
Lindsay, the mollycoddle girl, was the kind of poser who would try to make fun of scientists then become the scientist. The same kind of person who would try to ridicule routine and responsibility, then pose as a serious person when it was convenient.
