Someone that tries to follow whatever some one else that they admire does. They are fake to them selves. They are something they are not that is whay people hate them. Also because they are extremly annoying. They don't have a life besides being soemthing that is fake. My advice to posers be who you are. If you are really ghetto and trying to follow the HXC style be ghetto. Thats being true to yourself. Dont try to act emo when you really hate it inside. If you feel alone and helpless then try something that you truly enjoy. If the popular Clique in your school is prep and you try to be prep your going to be misrable inside because thats what you are not. Be true to yourself thats the key to happiness.
If yur really and emo kid be an emo kid stop trying to be punk! If you like Good Charlotte like them even though they are poser rock.

A name given to a person based on his/her fashion sense or musical tastes by people who think that:
A. Just because someone is wearing clothes from Hot Topic it means that they're trying to be goth, or
B. Just because someone listens to The Ramones it means that they're trying to be punk.
There are some more examples, but these are some of the more common ones. Most people that call others posers are saying that these people are trying to be goths or punks. These people never consider that maybe, just maybe.. these guys simply like the clothes or music!
It has nothing to do with what they want to BE, but simply what they LIKE, so they go ahead and do it. It's like assuming that just because a white guy wants to rap, that he's automatically a wigger. Rap doesn't automatically mean you're gonna speak in ebonics and rap about bitches and hoes, or how "gangsta" you are. Only when that IS the case.. you can go and call him a wigger, but otherwise, no.
It's the same with these so-called "goths" and "punks". A stud-belt from Hot Topic doesn't mean that person slits his wrists and cries all day because his life sucks, nor does liking the band Green Day mean that person wants to rebel against society, get a mohawk, and tell everyone else to fuck off.
However.. the easiest way to tell a true poser from a non-poser would be that, if a poser actually gets called a poser, he/she'd overreact quite angrily and surprised.

Someone who pretends to be something their not, just to fit in or to seem cool, not because they like it. Someone who says they like a type of music, or to dress a certain type of way, or to say something that other people think is ''in''. Someone who has no idea whats beneath the things they like, If you liked a band, and asked them if they did, and said yeah.. and you ask them to name their favorite, and they have no idea, then obviously their faking to like it. Be your mother fucking selves. You don't have to like the same things everyone else does just to seem popular, When you think about it, if your unique and like your own type of things, you could start a new style, by being yourself:)
Darcy: Omfgz! I LOVE ESCAPE THE FATE
Justean: Really? Me too, whats your favorite? Mines ''This war is ours''
Darcy: Oh, idk.. i forgot.
Justean:Then, how do you like them?
Darcy: CUZ THEIR EFFINN HOTT, I LOVE MAX HES THE BEST SINGER!!
Justean: Max is the bass player..
Darcy: I know that!!! SILLY.
Justean:Wow, poser much?

Is the kind of guy who pretends to be kind and sensitive but really he's controlling and he lies. He may even go to the extreme to start his own meetup group and say it’s for 20 and 30 year olds only…. but he is the kind of guy that really just wants to pick and choose who he likes and lets them into the group because of his extreme control issues. Mostly this kind of poser would include young single girls because he thinks they are not smart enough to identify a poser when they see one. Then he makes up stories to scare young girls into thinking 70 year old men are going to be fondling them and hitting on them in Frederick bars unless he they are part of his group so they run thankfully into his arms out of gratitude.
He is the kind of guy that played the flute in HS, and wanted to be Peter Pan as a child just to wear the tights. His only social outlet is his new group and it makes his cock really hard knowing he can control everything about it. He has no real substance and therefore it's hard to carry on anything but a superficial conversation with him. He clearly was breastfed too long and has deep love/hate issues with his mother.
His ultimate destiny will be to marry a really stupid hot-chick (don't forget looks matter to him) late in his life (but she'll be 25) that likes being controlled but after 8 years and 1 kid she'll resent his control and divorce him leaving him at age 40 and he won't be able to join his own group anymore.

Craig: You know the FNL group has 70 year old that hit on 20 year olds so I started this group to save them.
Random 20 year old girl: Oh Craig you are so wonderful! Let me hug you for saving me!!! Please take me home with you!!!
or
Craig: Mom, I'm so lonely and bored so I started a new group so I could play with peoples lives. It was fun until I took heat for it then I tattled on them to authorities who didn't really give a rat's ass......can I please be breastfed now?
Craig's Mom: Craig, even I know you are a poser. Grow up.

Someone who acts as a hypocrite by faking that they like something, or dissing that they like something to look cool.
Aly is such a poser because she wore a lit hat in vain. To further explain, she was being a poser by wearing the hat then dissing it. (She didn't deserve the hat, she is nowhere near as lit as me)

1. (adj.) one who steals or copies another person's ideas, thoughts, words, or actions and attempts to pass them off as their own.
2. (adj.) someone who pretends to be of a certain group of people in order to become more popular, look cool, or fit in.
3. (adj.) a sorry sucker who is only believable enough to fool themselves and the other poor bastards who fall into the same category.
4. (adj.) a human being with low self-confidence or high levels of immaturity who believe that by living a lie, they will be able to redeem themselves for who they trully are.
The usual lot of posers nowadays include anywhere between tween, pre-teen, and teen. They are made blatantly identifiable by there over the top make-up, hair, costume, action, and 'persona' developed in order to insinuate themselves into whatever category the poser is attempting to infiltrate.
An official dead give-away for a poser is the afore mentioned appearance. But one of the most tell-tale signs of a poser is the fact that they really have absolutely no idea about whatever it is that they are trying to imitate. Simply, they have no understanding of it, and fly by on the bare-bones of knowledge they have probably gathered swiftly over the internet.
