poser

I have a good definiton for poser. My cousin. She is very cool, but is a pretty big poser. SHe recently started liking rock. Her favorite bands are Green Day, Panic! at the Disco, AFI, Simple Plan, My Chemical Romance...and thats pretty much it. I asked her if she knew "Death Cab for Cutie" "Blink 182" and even the old songs of Green Day...and she had NO IDEA. SHe painted her nails black, borrows her sisters black shirts(which says 'baby phat' on them, but as long as they are black, she doesnt care), and started to hate pink. Well, I like rock and metal, but I dont dress all in black. Her myspace is sooo emo and she tries to hit on emo kids. Her sisters call her goth, but she denies it. WHAT GIVES?! I mean, she doesnt even know what Oldies are!!!! She has no idea who Korn or Slipknot is. She shoudl just give up.

Angela*: omg rock is the best!

me: have you heard "all the small things."? its REALLY CATCHY!

Angela*: what is that? a new radio station.

i cannot explain more. she is just a big poser. period.

*names have been changed, so i replaced her name with this girl i hate

poser

a poser is a wannabe. basically a loser who tries to fit in by copying people they feel are COOL.

people who know a poser, should probably feel flattered. posers generally copy their friends, people who are unique get extremely P**sed at this :)

eg

Lauren: omg check out my myspace... its SOOO original
Elly: uhuh yea its so great you used your initiative, im so glad you copied and pasted my website into your blog :)

Poser

Someone that claims to have gotten street smart from growing up on the back streets of somewhere like Orange County or Montana or claims to be a student of human behavior to sound more alert, studious and socially conscious than they actually are, since they're always asking people around them what the fuck is going on. All this is really a defense mechanism to hide the dork beneath the surface. Another one of their favorite defense mechanisms is to imitate someone that other people might describe as unbearable, thinking that by imitating somebody like that, they become somebody like that in actuality.

The poser was none of what he/she claimed to be, but knew that if he/she started being himself/herself, nobody would want to be around him/her, and nobody would want him/her around (except possibly other like minded posers).

Poser

A person that believes heavily in cliques or social status, therefore acting differently around other people just to fit in. Posers usually end up having little or no friends in the end, because of these factors.

When people are not around:

Friend: Don't you think Star Wars is better than Titanic?
Poser: Hell yeah.

When people are around:
Friend: Don't you think Star Wars is better than Titanic?
Poser: Dude you're really gay.
