One who begins to act straight edge for fashion, rather than physical or emotional health. Usually poseur straight edges can be identified by being 13-15, ages when most have no choice but to be straight edge, but few choose to flaunt it. Pen-drawn X's on the back of the hands are one of the only things that is similar between a real straight edge and a poseur straight edge. Poseur straight edges are essentially whatever clic the individual was before they found that marker, plus two black x's. These kids usually are not part of the hardcore scene in itself, but try to salvage their integrity by listening to watered-down, cookie cutter hardcore music.
Ernest: Hey! That kid looks hardcore straightedge! Oh wait! He is wearing dickies shorts and 130 dollar skater shoes and he has blonde hair! Whoops!

Get the sally straight edge mug.A new designation for persons who still insist they are straight edgers, but whom are no longer hardcore straight-edge. They can bend the straight-edge to suit their own individual situation, for example they may choose to smoke but not have casual sex. Or they make occasionally choose to drink alcoholic beverages but continue to obstain from nicotine or any other drugs. Also, they may follow all straight-edge philosophy except food constraint, refusing to be veggie or vegan. Basically an 'xteh' is only totally against illegal drugs and casual unmeaningful sex. Possibly derived from x-ing one of the the straight edge double x's and combining it with the recently popularized prefix 'teh.'
"Is Sara still straight edge?"
"No, I think she's xteh straight edge now because I saw her drinking beer at the last show."
