Poser

Poser; One who conforms to other people's ideas, has no original ideas, and tries to be someone they're not. They typically ditch their original group of friends to try and hang out with people that are "cool" in hopes of becoming popular. They will also go out and buy a mass order of "cool" clothes from Hot Topic or something.

Signs of a Poser - 1. The poser will start hanging out with people you would never expect. 2. They will change their style of clothes. e.g. They will wear tennis shorts but will soon be wearing skinny jeans and tight jackets. 3. Potential poser name: First name: Vance; Last name: La
Person 1: "Hey, you know Vance?"

Person 2: "Vance La?"

Person 1: "Yeah, him."

Person 2: "Yeah. He's such a poser. No one likes him."

Poser

A poser is someone who tries hard to be something they arent. Usually, posers call other people posers because they are jealous that the person they called a poser is more skater/stoner/goth/punk/rocker/grunge/etc. than they will ever be.

posers

Someone who says they really like something when either
1: The barely know anything about it
2: They're only saying that to fit in

Posers usually all dress the same and think they're totally hardcore when really, they suck. Poser is becoming the new term for conformist, because most posers are only doing the annoying things they do to fit in.
EXAMPLE 1:
Poser: OMG I love Green Day!
Punk: What's your favorite album?
Poser: American Idiot.
Punk: Ha! Typical poser. I like Insomniac.
Poser: Wha? Is that a second name for one of their songs?
Punk: No, it's an album!
Poser: They have more albums???

EXAMPLE 2:
Poser: I have a girlfriend. *note: poser is a girl*
Non-Poser: So you're lez or bi or something?
Poser: No, I'm just expreimenting. That's okay in highschool.
Non-Poser: So you aren't attracted to girls but you're dating one?
Poser: Yeah, I love her. She's HOTT.
Non-Poser: You can't say that if you're not attracted to girls. It's faking it. You're a stupid poser. That's sick, it's not just a brand of clothes or something, you're probably breaking your "girlfriend's" heart, because you aren't really attracted to her. Get a boyfriend instead, or be single you fuckhead!
*note: I actually had that conversation with a stupid poser. Most of the posers I know pretend to be bi, and then they use the word "gay" as an antagonistic phrase.*

EXAMPLE 3:
Poser: I love My Chemical Romance!
Non-Poser: What's your favorite song?
Poser: Welcome to the Black Parade!
Non-Poser: Do you own any of the albums?
Poser: No, I just saw the video on TV! It was so cool... I love MCR <3333
Non-Poser: Have you ever heard "Cemetery Drive"?
Poser: No, I just heard them for the first time! My mom just bought me a MCR shirt!

Poser

Someone who tries way too hard to be something they're not, and at the same time, fails while doing it. : Which is fun to laugh at.
How Can You Tell Who's a Poser?

Posers usually attempt to listen to whatever-subculture-they-try-to-be's type of music. But usually end up listening to sell outs or poser BANDS. They also buy things people will think are {LABEL}, so people will say, "OMG UR SO {LABEL}!" to them, mainly for attention. They also try to do EVERY EXACT THING one specific label does. ex. Emo - Cut/ Prep - Wear a lot of pink, hate other cliques
--
These people will also SAY they do these things for... ATTENTION. Most often dress for attention as well.

A very popular label that has many types of posers, is emo. Mainly because of the whole Black Parade Scene. {Dont get me wrong, I love My Chemical Romance} And many think it shows they're cool, or want to look like a "non-conformist". Many can be found on {VampireFreaks.com

Long story short is that posers are sorry excuses for everything. And many just want to look different. Labels are gay things that take people's originality away. There's no use for them, AND PEOPLE HAVE TO LEARN TO BE THEMSELVES.
