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.'

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.

Poser actually means a puzzeled or baffeling question. A poseuer is someone who trys to be someone or something they are not.
They are emo posuers. (poser)

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).

Does not exist. If it did exist; the definition would be 'someone trying to be a certain stereotype'. However, most people define it in their heads as 'someone who isn't whoever/whatever they are trying to be because; 1, if they have to try then they are fake, or 2, they are trying too hard and failing'. Both of these reasons are judgmental and highly unintelligent. If using the word to refer to someone else, the user is generally saying it to make themselves feel higher than the other because the user feels insecure or low. What the word, in all honesty, really is? A lie.
Insecure 1: "Look at that girl. She tries so hard to be scene. What a fake."
Insecure 2: "Seriously. She fails so bad. What a poser."
Intelligent Life-form: -laughs- "Its funny because I know that the only reason you're saying that is because you're trying to make yourself look better. It's also funny since the only reason you're doing that is because you're insecure about your own self. -laughs- ...and you say she fails."
