Mary, Nettie, Lorraine, and Lizette try so hard to make everyone believe that they are into the Rockabilly scene when in fact they are just pathetic posers.

poser

A computer program for creating 3D, humanoid models/animations. "Poser" should not be confused with "poseur", they are completely different words and if anyone tells you otherwise they are a poseur.
A poser is also "a question or problem that is puzzling or confusing".
Person A: So did you download Poser yet?
Person B: No way man, Poser sucks! I use 3ds Max.
Person A: Man wtf?! Are you some kind of poseur or something?
Person B: I don't know. That's quite a poser isn't it?
Person A: No! It's not! You're an idiot!

poser

Someone who tries very hard to be something they're not but never succeeds.

A poser trying to be a "goth" will wear jeans and a band t-shirt. The band being a band they've only heard one song by.

I used to be a poser, then I saw sense. I'm just myself now. My own Style. Simply just, me.
Sindy - "OMGZZZZ CHECK MY SLIPKNOT T-SHIRT OUT!! I LOVE IT! N SLIPKNOT, THEY'RE THE BEST BAND EVER!"

Lucy - "Umm... what songs you heard then?"

Sindy - "Can't remember the names! *awkward laugh*"

Lucy - "Yeah..."




But posers are often mistaked as actual goths by chavs (townies, scallies). But chavs are stupid and blind.

Poser

Someone who tries way too hard to be something they're not, and at the same time, fails while doing it. : Which is fun to laugh at.
How Can You Tell Who's a Poser?

Posers usually attempt to listen to whatever-subculture-they-try-to-be's type of music. But usually end up listening to sell outs or poser BANDS. They also buy things people will think are {LABEL}, so people will say, "OMG UR SO {LABEL}!" to them, mainly for attention. They also try to do EVERY EXACT THING one specific label does. ex. Emo - Cut/ Prep - Wear a lot of pink, hate other cliques
--
These people will also SAY they do these things for... ATTENTION. Most often dress for attention as well.

A very popular label that has many types of posers, is emo. Mainly because of the whole Black Parade Scene. {Dont get me wrong, I love My Chemical Romance} And many think it shows they're cool, or want to look like a "non-conformist". Many can be found on {VampireFreaks.com

Long story short is that posers are sorry excuses for everything. And many just want to look different. Labels are gay things that take people's originality away. There's no use for them, AND PEOPLE HAVE TO LEARN TO BE THEMSELVES.

poser

a word often used by people who are insecure about themselves so they call everyone but themselves and their so called "friends" "posers". in my area, it is mostly used by skater kids whose pants are way too tight to describe someone who wears skateboard shoes (etnies, dc, vans etc) but doesn't skate. by that logic, people who wear running shoes but don't run are "posers", people who wear nike basketball shoes but don't play basketball are "posers", people who wear adidas stan smiths but don't play tennis are "posers", the list goes on. the funny thing is, most of these people who call other people "posers" can't spell poseur correctly. yes, there are people who are, in fact, poseurs, but a lot of the people who get called "posers" don't deserve it.
Situation 1, poseur calls someone a "poser":

Bill: DO U SK8?!!?? UR WEARIN NIKE 6.0'S

Joe: That's none of your fucking business.

Bill: O MY GOD U R A FUKIN POSER!!!!!!!!!!!11111

Joe: Dude, by your logic, people who wear New Balance but don't run are "posers".


Bill: .......



Situation 2:

Mandy: OH EM EFF GEE I LUV MY NEW $80 ABERCROMBIE JEANS! I'M SO PREPPY LOL


Samantha: No, you're not a fucking prep, you're a fucking douchebag who has too much money and spends too much money on buying status symbols.

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!!!"
