poser

From "poseur." This usually refers to someone who attempts to be part of a clique punk, skater, goth, etc. - never preppy, but out of a desire to be recognized as a member of that clique rather than sincerity. Of late, however, the word has been overused; any newcomer is now generally considered a "poser," regardless of motive.
This word is especially popular in rambling, misspelled sessions on AIM.

1. "Look at him - he dresses in black and says he's a goth, but he's never even read Edgar Allan Poe. What a poser."
2. "omg u r not punk u preppy POSER!!!!!!!1!!!"

poser

word used by people who are very insecure in their own social standing; the entire concept of someone being a poser demeans the true concepts of "antisocial" "cultures" that people seem so eager to jump into; often used by people who are not only hypocritical and judgmental, but who also can't spell poseur .

Poser

A person who calls someone a "poser" when the word that they really mean to use, but are to much of a poseur to realize, is "poseur".

So, I came across these guys online today that where totally thinking they were all punk. I was like, "Have you even heard of the Ramones? Because I'm pretty familiar with their music!" They didn't know what I was talking about!!!! :-o Wow, these guys where SUCH a bunch of posers!

poser

someone who will be someone theyre not just to try to fit in and manipulate people. They pretend to be whatever is 'cool' at the moment than be themselves and who they really are. Then call other people posers to hide the fact they're one.

Posers spend most of their time wasting thier life away on myspace with the rest of the emo losers. They feel special they made friends with some other nobodies who no one even gives a shit about while the real popular people are making friends with known and important people.

sal pretended to like rock just to fit in with goths
sal PRETENDED to have money just to look cool to the people who really DO have money.

What a poor ass poser.
We really live the lifestyle and hes posing to make friends. How pathetic. Stupid Kid.

Poser

Someone that tries to follow whatever some one else that they admire does. They are fake to them selves. They are something they are not that is whay people hate them. Also because they are extremly annoying. They don't have a life besides being soemthing that is fake. My advice to posers be who you are. If you are really ghetto and trying to follow the HXC style be ghetto. Thats being true to yourself. Dont try to act emo when you really hate it inside. If you feel alone and helpless then try something that you truly enjoy. If the popular Clique in your school is prep and you try to be prep your going to be misrable inside because thats what you are not. Be true to yourself thats the key to happiness.

If yur really and emo kid be an emo kid stop trying to be punk! If you like Good Charlotte like them even though they are poser rock.

poser

A dumbass hypocrite trendwhore conformist asshole who can't think for his/herself. They like anything their friends like, like a band, and usually don't know any songs by that band. When you ask them they usually say they like all of their songs and never mention one.

They also like Anything thats popular and usually don't know any music beyond mainstream. Loves to jump on bandwagons and bash things other people bash. They love to be "cool", they will try to call YOU a poser, even though you aren't labeling yourself, like they are.

Oh, and if you call Good Charlotte posers just because everyone else does, you're technically THEE poser, because you're being a conformist. I don't like Good Charlotte anyway, but people need to stop bashing them.

Dumbass Poser: lolz I lyk My chemical romance im sooo punk now. wots ur favorite band?

Me: Alice In Chains

Dumbass Poser: OMG WTF WTF UR A POSER!!! LMAO!! LOLOLOL!!!

Me: I never even labeled myself, so technically I am not a "poser".

Dumbass Poser: UH HUH CUZ U LYK ALICE IN CHAINS N THEY R NOT COOL

Me: um Okay...So...what is your favorite songs by My Chemical Romance?

Dumbass Poser: um...i lyk all of them:)

Me: Suuure you do.
