I was walking through Borders the other day and I heard this Poseur talking about how he/she loves emo and listens to Miss. A. Lavigne all the time.

Get the poseur mug.One who begins to act straight edge for fashion, rather than physical or emotional health. Usually poseur straight edges can be identified by being 13-15, ages when most have no choice but to be straight edge, but few choose to flaunt it. Pen-drawn X's on the back of the hands are one of the only things that is similar between a real straight edge and a poseur straight edge. Poseur straight edges are essentially whatever clic the individual was before they found that marker, plus two black x's. These kids usually are not part of the hardcore scene in itself, but try to salvage their integrity by listening to watered-down, cookie cutter hardcore music.
Ernest: Hey! That kid looks hardcore straightedge! Oh wait! He is wearing dickies shorts and 130 dollar skater shoes and he has blonde hair! Whoops!

Get the Poseur mug."I think I'm emo...I mean, I dress like it, my hair looks like it (which I, like, totally didn't mean it to...) and I like the music." Believe it or not, someone actually said this to me. I don't pretend to know every detail of the "emo" culture, but I'm at least smart enough to know that listening to Dashboard Confessional because the new guy "that's sooo hot cause I saw his picture with his mom on myspace" likes it, chopping off 3/4 of your hair (but leaving the long bangs, of course), going on a steady diet of Prozac, and using an exacto knife to carve the word "die" into your leg (no joke, saw it with my own eyes...) does not define "emo". And after explaining all this to her, I get the response, "No but I really think I am though."
"I'm really into emo guys right now."
"That's new for you. I thought you liked the, uh, 'gangstas'."
"That was last week."

Get the poseur punk mug.1. A Conformist: someone who does what everyone else is doing b/c its "in", "trendy", or "cool" to do at the time.
2. Someone who puts themself under a certain label in order to be accepted by others who have conformed to that same label.
-It really doesn't matter what you wear or what you listen to in terms of music, as long as YOU YOURSELF truly like the music and the way you look.
-You won't be a poseur so long as you do what you like for YOURSELF, instead of doing things to be accepted by people who will find VERY little meaning in what individuality really means.

People who CALL THEMSELVES:
Punk, Goth, Emo, Hardcore, Gangster, Ghetto, Indie, MetalHead, etc.
Many (NOT all) white teens listen to rap music, not b/c they actually like it, but b/c its the "cool" thing to listen to, and if you listen to any genre of "Rock" music, you are looked down upon as an outcast and an "unnatural freak". But this ok, so long as you are true to yourself.
