Someone that liked Barney the purple dinosaur, Power Rangers, Lil Kim, Britney Spears, and a bunch of other bubblegum pop or mainstream music as a kid and tried to make fun of "weird" music like Nirvana, Nine Inch nails, or even Marilyn Manson, (calling it devil's music or music for people obsessed with sex) then at an oppurtune time in life when he/she sees an advantage or benefit in doing so, claims to love this kind of music and memorizes all the songs, lyrics, and life stories about them so that he/she will beat anybody (Buzz Lightyear style) at his/her superficial, trivia kind of knowledge of music history game about each band.
The poseur doesn't listen to the music to go back to another time, it's not really anywhere in his/her memory or heart, he/she holds nothing sacred, it's just a means to an end for him/her to try and gain newfound stripes with a group of people that he/she hopes won't see right through him/her.

Get the Poseur mug.Someone that always tries to overrun or overpower people they don't gain stripes with, refusing to take rejection for an answer.
That poseur got rejected like Mutombo in NBA Jam, get that poseur shit out of here. Then he/she came back trying overrun or overpower all the people that once rejected him/her trying to force them to say yes instead of eat him/her alive, until he/she ended up replacing the people that once rejected him/her, that was his/her ladder to success and a new world order where he/she was the one that rejected other people, and not the other way around.

Get the Poseur mug.Someone that called people that were different something like obnoxious in high school or after, then started going for an image that was more like the people he/she was trying to make fun of.
The poseur would always try to make fun of people that he/she saw as in front her in line until she found out they were never in line to begin with, then the poseur got angry (in a repressed manner) and became more like an imitation of these folks, always acting different or colorful to compensate for being plain, dull, and lifeless (someone that is around primarily to drain life) beneath the surface.

Get the Poseur mug.Someone that has a different name, look/image, and language than the one they spoke as a kid (a language more like an imitation of someone else's) to get liked/accepted by others more than they were as a kid.
He/she must have wanted to be a poseur when he/she grew up, because he/she is speaking in someone else's tongue instead of his/her own, but then again he/she always imitated other people growing up too, without really ever being someone that other people thought about imitating as a kid.

Get the Poseur mug.The girl got a beanie with a crocheted visor to prove she didn't wear a beret and wasn't a snob, not because she actually delivered newspapers, magazines, phone books, or any other periodicals for work as a young boy/girl, a teenager, or even a 20 something, because she was a desperate poseur. She had actually always had more money than the people she was trying to make fun of, but wanted to look tougher because she thought she really was tougher.

Get the Poseur mug.Your father was never a hard ass with you, he was always protective and civil with you because you were soft and nerdy as a kid, quit being a poseur to try and gain fame/riches/respect/power from it.

Get the poseur mug.Someone that needs their peers to believe in them, and thinks that everyone else needs the same thing to keep going.
The poseur was a narcissist, she claimed to be different but deep down she saw her own image when she looked at everyone else, and thought that everyone else was the same way.
