One who comes on Urban Dictionary to define 'poser' due to the fact that they are insecure about themselves. This term is throw around so much that it barely has an actual meaning, seeing as everyone needs to try to point the finger at who is a poser and who isn't. It's extremely pathetic and immature.

Did you see that kid wearing that nirvana shirt? He doesn't even know what nirvana is, he's such a poser.

A poser is someone who acts like someone he/she is not to act cool. A poser will pretend to know all the latest trends that apply to the group he/she is trying to fit in with, but the poser will actually have no clue whatsoever.
This term mostly applies to stupid girls who try to act like Queen Bees they see on TV, by acting even MORE retarded (and telling people about it), speaking in a nasaly tone, acting like a drama queen (and being proud of it), pretending to have Paris Hilton-related problems, dropping names of designer brands she obviously doesn't wear, and/or claiming that she is a trash talker even though a 3 year old's putdowns could make her burst into fake tears.

ASpeaking with an enemy:
Anna: "OMG I'm soooo anorexic, even my Ralph Lauren cardigan won't make me feel better."
Alexa: "Ugh whatever, you poser!"
Anna: "O really, are you trying to be mean, like me????"
Alexa: "You're not mean, you're just a drama queen"
Anna: "OOOOOhhh, I know!"
Talking to a friend:
Sandrina: "It must be hard for actresses to act dumb."
Anna: "THAT'S SOOOOO NOT TRUE! I act dumb every day!"
the sad part about BOTH these examples is that they've actually happened. no lie.

Never trust someone who claims to be a good guy/girl but isn't who they say they are/seem to be. Someone like that is a poser.

An intravert seen as an extrovert is posing as an extrovert. Allowing people to see you as or representing yourself as an extrovert when you're not an extrovert is posing rather than being yourself.
There are a lot of characters on tv shows people think of as extroverted people in real life. The same goes for the news and different forms of media, the internet, music. A poser is somebody you think is a certain way naturally based on what you'be seen and heard through a media source.

A person who takes a picture with a group of people so they don't look narcissistic in the picture is a poser.
Photogenic poser-Look, there's seven other faces in the photo with mine, we're not narcissistic are we?
