Someone that thinks a team wants to be like another team because the other team has the better record. Nobody likes to lose, but would you rather lose as you or win as somebody else? It doesn't take any honor to win.
If you're not fighting as you, what's the point of being undefeated? People wouldn't allow their team to lose without a fight, but before they wouldn't let them lose, they wouldn't let them become a poser team. They would rather their team be losers or underachievers who were themselves than to be overachievers who were somebody else, even if it seemed stupid to everybody else.

Someone who starts posing as an oddball or a weirdo once the stigma is gone and there's no social consequence. The kind of people who wouldn't smoke pot or do any drugs that would make them look like junkies until there was no stigma and everybody did it.
The oddball poser found a sense of comradery with a group of other oddball posers once there were no more odd people left, and phasing them out was complete.

Somebody that lies about every aspect of their life, what they believe in, what they feel, and who they are. Somebody that has an endless amount of false names, not false screen names or something mostly benign, something a bit more malicious, but has many false names in real life and claims each one of them is his/her real name.
The girl was the kind of poser that didn't want anyone to accurately identify her, so she had numerous false names and looked like a different person on the outside almost every time you saw her.

The poser couldn't go skydiving or do anything else without a camera, because having nothing to show for it wouldn't make her look tough or colorful anymore, she would be uninteresting, as everybody is throughout most of their lives. People are interesting for a little while after they are born, then they are interesting again late in their life, but most of their life there's nothing interesting about anyone in particular.

(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.

someone:"poser.."

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 type of dipshit who always claims to like a rock band or artist but has no clue what they do and who they are. Also they suck at guitar and steal other poeple's shit just to make them look good. The best they can play is a pentatonic, no more than that, if anything possibly 4 difficult bar chords.
These kind of people are much more into Guns N Roses or Metallica but can't even name on single song.
