Insecure high-school kids latching onto whatever cultural or subcultural stereotype they can in order to 'fit in.' This is a manifestation on an undifferentiated ego-mass striving for conformity and order in a complex and difficult social environment, such as high-school. Most of these kids will outgrow it by their mid 20s. And, will discover that 'being themselves' is the best option of all.
Middle and upper class Black kids trying to be 'gangsta.'
Middle and upper class White kids trying to be 'punk.'
'Derek is such a poser. He talks all 'street' and listens to all the latest gangsta-rap from LA. When in fact, he grew up in Georgetown and his dad is an executive at IBM.'

Get the posermug. 1.Someone who tries to be popular by looking or acting like someone else. Sometimes, NOOBS are also called posers when they act like other people in the group without a hint of autheniticy. Happens in most common style groups like Goth, Punk, Wigger (Chav), and most infamously, Prep and Pop culture.
2. A character, show, or actor that doesn't have a clue of being individually styled.

Johnny is still a poser to the prep kids after he tried to wear the same brands as every one else.
Hot Topic was one of the most feared poser-stores to both true Punks and Goths alike.

Get the posermug. A poser is someone who goes out of their way to dress or act a certain way, e.g. punk, in order to attract members of the opposite sex or new friends who are into that scene.

Get the posermug. A person who tries to be like everyone else and epically fails. Someone who thinks that looking like a barbie doll is "cool" or caking makeup on their faces makes them look any better. A person who pretends to be someone they're not.
For example, Miley Cyrus is a poser because she pretends to be someone who doesn't even exist and then goes around kissing every co-star she gets (which makes her a slut).

Get the posermug. Anybody who rides a Harley.
Bob is such a poser in his ass-less chaps and do-rag.
Bob thinks he is a badass, but he is really a poser.
