(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.

Get the poser mug.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.

Get the Guitar Poser mug.A person who uses the text editor Vim extensively, especially in public and social spaces, with the implicit goal of signaling one´s technical acuity and/or alignment with free and open-source philosophy.
A: Jona uses Vim all the time too but he´s not making use of even the most basic keybindings.
B: Man this guy is such a vim poser...

Get the Vim poser mug.Someone who wears a hair metal band shirt to a thrash show and tries to fit in and get away with it.
Thrasher 1- “Hey look at that poser over there wearing a Motley Cruë shirt!”
Thrasher 2- “Let’s beat him up!”
Thrasher 3- “MAKE HIM HURT!”
