A person who tries to fit in with the emo label just for attention or popularity (which doesn't make sense because emo people aren't supposed to be popular)
Anyway, here are some ways to spot an emo poser:
1. Act depressed 24/7, even when nothing is wrong in their lives
2. Cut themselves purposefully... and then show it to everyone
3. Must always adopt the complete emo look: dark dyed hair with sidebangs, very tight pants, an emo band t-shirt (like Hawthorne Heights) at least 3 items from Hot Topic, and of course, eyeliner
4. Has a rich family
5. Music lists ALWAYS include the following bands: My Chemical Romance, Hawthorne Heights, The Used, Simple Plan, Fall Out Boy, AFI, and more
6. Throws emo song lyrics around on their myspace/xanga/livejournal/etc., usually as their display name
7. On the above-mentioned sites, include pictures of themselves with the typical myspace angle (weird camera aim which barely allows for the viewer to see the person except for their hair, or at least one of their eyes)
8. Only talk to people who look just like themselves (and may get rejected if they see how much of a poser he/she is)
9. Are anorexic or have some other mental disorder, usually involving their self-image (because all emo posers think they're ugly)
10. Complain about their "hard lives" all the time
In short, emo posers are the reason that everyone hates emos. They're the ones who act like this, so people think that all emos do it too. In reality, true emo people act like themselves, and the only way that they are all alike is that they tend to have a primarily emotional personality. That's it. It has nothing to do with being depressed or mental disorders, or listening to all the same bands, unless you have a good reason for being depressed, did not force the mental disorder on yourself, or listen to the bands because you actually like them.
Though, in reality, I personally do not like most of the bands. They're not in my taste. I'm not gonna insult them though. Only the people who listen to them just because everyone else does, AKA the posers.

A person who doesn't even like rap and listens to the pop rap because they think that they look cool. Rap posers don't even look into rap to know that there was old school. Usually they buy the album of the newest one hit wonder and put it in their cd player and don't even listen to it. Rap posers say rock and every other genre sucks without even listening to it because they think that makes them look cool. Real rap fans don't just listen to the pop rap, they usually listen to tupac and notorious B.I.G. and the rappers before them because they know that those were the people who had the best flow, and also real rap fans don't go around saying that rock sucks.
I used to be a rap poser until I listened to Jimi Hendrix and other classic rock and then I started getting into rock and metal because I actually like it and don't pretend to. Now I express my true thoughts on modern rap and the only rap I listen to is old school cause modern is shit.

Get the rap poser mug.School where all the kids are separated. The social groups are all distinctly separated. The different groups often never interact with each other ever. Oftentimes, this leads to a socially fucked atmosphere at school. There are also many 'fake' kids in these poser schools. They will claim to be someone's friend and then talk shit about them without them knowing. It escalates to a point where most people at the school talk shit behind other people's backs.

Their gamertags are so retarted and Use UppEr CaSe and LoWer CaSe like ThiS, Use of more leterssss, two ii's, z's, x's, o's, v's etc. They also have a bio that consists of foreign characters that you have to squint your eyes to read that shit. They talk alot of smack and usually mod. Most of them aren't even that good. They promote how "GB" they are and promote their lame youtube channel. They buy Gamerpics such as, Konsole Kings, and MLG Picture Packs. They use vocabulary such as "BK Randy, Scrub, Get Slapped, Get Smacked, etc." They are very easy to find in call of duty game modes such as "Search and Destroy, Demolition, Ground War, and Domination." Their Gamertags would look like: iToo SiiCK, iiTz DropShoTzz, o Examplezz o, Communticationzzz, GeT o SLaPPeD, etc. They range from 13 year olds to 30+ who need to get a job.
