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 Poseurmug. Someone still trying to earn their local yokel stripes in their late 30's instead of being themself.
The poseur was a big fish in a small pond back in the small town he was from, where he was a known town bully, and he expected the locals in others places to treat him not only as one of their own, but as the big fish there. He was the kind of guy that robbed a boutique store for female's clothing and sold it back to unsuspecting females to try and get respect from people that didn't even know him, trying to make a name for himself.

Get the Poseurmug. Someone that tries to talk in a dock worker language but has the soul of a perpetual college student or bubble pop adolescent.
The poseur called her husband Daniel Tosh Jr. pal, it didn't sound right because that wasn't her, and really it wasn't him either.

Get the poseurmug. 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 Poseurmug. Someone that winks to feign joking without the other person knowing that their intention wasn't really to joke.
The poseur told the other person how to join her poseur cult and winked after she said it to indicate she was feigning kidding while looking and sounding serious (but claimed to not care what anybody thought of her even though everyone else did care what people thought of them).

Get the poseurmug. The poseur worked hard at being loose all her life, so that people would like/love her. She always said she didn't care what anybody thought, or preached to everyone about how they should all be themselves and stop trying to prove they were good people, but really she was more desperate than anybody to convince others she didn't care what anybody thought. There were those of them that could see through the rungs in her ladder, as she could see through the rungs in theirs.

Get the Poseurmug. A phony youtuber that claims they always get sent death threats and drama when really hardly anybody pays attention to or knows who they are.
The youtube poseur thought that he/she the most important/influential person in the world, you could tell by the way they described what happened to people with a youtube channel, and you would think their was an army coming for this guy/girl on every front when in reality most people thought that he/she was about as interesting as watching paint dry, a couple of dorks that felt betrayed by the SS because it collapsed in the 1940's.
