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.

He/she was a poser, because unlike him/her, the person he/she was posing as might actually be missed by a few people.

(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.

When you buy a motorcycle to look cool but never ride it. It sits outside in the rain or in the garage and collects dust.
Sina bought a motorcycle to ride with his friends, but after it arrived, everyone knew right away, that he was a motorcycle poser.

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.
