one trying to be what one does not know anything about. emos are commonly called posers. nobody says anything about the random dorks who buy purses from american eagle its always the kids that try to fit in with a group that is frowned down upon that get called posters. Posers try hard to be something so that they will be excepted i have a certain amount of sympathy for such people and yet they still piss me off. posers are also known as nobodys, wanna be's, never has beens, clueless, shameful, and or misserably lost

Get the poser mug.Since punk began, a poser could be defined variously as somebody who thinks Avril Lavigne is "punk," goes to Warped Tour to see Yellowcard while ignoring The Damned, is straight-edge for all the wrong reasons, identifies as punk but is scared of the pit, listens to emo convinced that men with slicked-down bangs and lyrics about trivial high school crushes are huge emotional dramas, etc etc... While the term is useful in delineating false punks from those who truly make the effort to live a DIY lifestyle, ultimately, EVERYBODY is a poser, especially anyone who preaches tolerance while judging what's punk and what's not, makes arbitrary judgments based on a zine's recommendation, or god forbid, looks up punk terms online.
Get real, poser!

Get the poser mug.Not really a word that can be defined. I mean, freaking come on, I can call anyone a poser. Emos say kids that don't 'Really have problems' aren't truly emo, when they don't have any effin problems themselves! (Honey, if you're buying all your clothes from Hot Topic, then you are well off.) The way you dress doesn't make you a person! How can you really be a poser with a bunch of made up definitions based on how people dress and what music they listen to? Seriously, grow the fuck up and leave this shit on myspace.
"lyk omg, she is such a poser!"
"No offense, I saw you wearing the same eyeliner yesterday, and you don't have anything to cry about..."

Get the poser mug.A deragatory term for a person who, in order to fit in, conforms to a popular trend contrary to their actual beliefs. Their overall presentation of themselves differs VERY much from who they actually are. the person most likely believes that their true interests would single them out. these people are sad things to see in society as most of them lack pure creativity and life because they have other people think for them.
