a person who likes something just because they have heard that someone else likes them. someone who wouldn't understand the meaning behind the lyrics or the thoughts and feelings. someone who says they are when they aren't and are so obviously following along. someone who is so fake it's sickening.
person1: so i'm gonna go buy this AFI cd.
person2: what's AFI?
person1: just this band i like.
person2: what does it stand for?
a week later, (after seeing picture of AFI)
person2: eww, they're so scary looking
a week later after that,
person2: yea!, soo i really like miss murder.
(sings *kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep* in squeaky voice.)
person1: uhmmm..
in other words, posers are people who take the meaning out of something beautiful by twisting it around and turning it into something strange in their little podpeople heads.
not that AFI would ever be ruined.

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.

A name given to a person based on his/her fashion sense or musical tastes by people who think that:
A. Just because someone is wearing clothes from Hot Topic it means that they're trying to be goth, or
B. Just because someone listens to The Ramones it means that they're trying to be punk.
There are some more examples, but these are some of the more common ones. Most people that call others posers are saying that these people are trying to be goths or punks. These people never consider that maybe, just maybe.. these guys simply like the clothes or music!
It has nothing to do with what they want to BE, but simply what they LIKE, so they go ahead and do it. It's like assuming that just because a white guy wants to rap, that he's automatically a wigger. Rap doesn't automatically mean you're gonna speak in ebonics and rap about bitches and hoes, or how "gangsta" you are. Only when that IS the case.. you can go and call him a wigger, but otherwise, no.
It's the same with these so-called "goths" and "punks". A stud-belt from Hot Topic doesn't mean that person slits his wrists and cries all day because his life sucks, nor does liking the band Green Day mean that person wants to rebel against society, get a mohawk, and tell everyone else to fuck off.
However.. the easiest way to tell a true poser from a non-poser would be that, if a poser actually gets called a poser, he/she'd overreact quite angrily and surprised.

People who buy rock and "punk" t-shirts at places such as Nordstrom and Meier and Frank, for $40 dollars, then flaunt them off on their "Myspace".....and call themselves punks and/or rockers.....
*True Story* Poser in a Pink shirt.....
A girl I knew was wearing a Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon shirt. (Pink Floyd is my favorite band.) I asked her where she got it. She responded, "Nordstrom, isn't it freakin' wicked?!" (Exact Qoute, just imagine it in a ditsy voice). So I then ask her, "What's your favorite Pink Floyd song?
"Dark Side of the Moon, duh!"
"Song, not Album..."
"It is a song, it says so on the shirt!"
(For those of you who don't get it....there is no Pink Floyd song called Dark Side of the Moon, it's in the lyrics....)
