poseur

Correct spelling of the more commonly used "poser."

One who dresses a certain way for the fashion, but does not listen to the music (applies to many genres of music including punk, ska, indie, metal, etc.)

One who wears skateboarding clothes or shoes, but doesnt skate.

For the Emo bullshit out there:
Most "emo," "scene," or "fashion core" kids (who almost always label themselves) fall under the catergory of poseurs. This is because most of them are only preps in disguise. *There are however, some respectable kids who listen to this genre (or very similar genres) who have liked the bands longer than this emo fad has been around. but for the fake poseurs: Cry me a river--then drown in it.

Some of the most annoying faggots ever. They're extremely fake. They will kill your music and turn it into some kind of fucking fad in anyway they can. Then you see it on MTV--the preppiest channel there is, and you want to kill someone.

FUCK POSEURS.

My friend is such a poseur. She tries to be punk by saying she likes Good Charlotte, but has never heard of the Distillers or Rancid or even Slipknot.
