The true way to spell poseur, a poseur is a way to refer to fake people. This could be someone who claims to be, say, emo when they cut themself, without know that emo is a genre of music and a state of mind. It's not cutting and suicide.

OR a poseur is a hater. They insult people who like Owl City, shop at Hot Topic, or do anything else that has slipped into the mainstream.
Poseur: ZOMG you listen to owl city, they are so gay! ur so gay!

Real person: um, one, Owl City isn't a band. Two, it's politically incorrect to call something gay, and three, step off.

A goth Poseur is a person who just dresses up as a goth, just for the attention. When they go out, they spend ages covering themselves in white makeup and eyeliner, and when they're lazing around inside, listening to Gwen Stefani, they wear a pink tracksuit.
They dont understand about goths,or that it is a lifestyle. They just want the stares. And you dont understand goths either if you think that all of them worship satan, cut themselves, and cry endlessly.
Poseur goths do it for the stares. Proper goths do it because thats just how they want to live and dress, and dont give a shit about what anyone else thinks.

Goth poseur : I'm looking for a DAAAARK picture to put up in my DAAAAARK bedroom, because my life is DAAAARKNESS!!!!

Goth: Hey..you were in here yesterday, buying some fake Burberry crap, right?

"I think I'm emo...I mean, I dress like it, my hair looks like it (which I, like, totally didn't mean it to...) and I like the music." Believe it or not, someone actually said this to me. I don't pretend to know every detail of the "emo" culture, but I'm at least smart enough to know that listening to Dashboard Confessional because the new guy "that's sooo hot cause I saw his picture with his mom on myspace" likes it, chopping off 3/4 of your hair (but leaving the long bangs, of course), going on a steady diet of Prozac, and using an exacto knife to carve the word "die" into your leg (no joke, saw it with my own eyes...) does not define "emo". And after explaining all this to her, I get the response, "No but I really think I am though."
"I'm really into emo guys right now."

"That's new for you. I thought you liked the, uh, 'gangstas'."

"That was last week."

A kind of "music" where the artist/band claims to be punk, but they aren't. The artists usually dress like 12 year old kids. They rarely sound the same on a CD as they do live.

A lame attempt by MTV to make more money.


Real punk died in the 80's. Deal with it.
Sane person: Good Charlotte, Sum 41 and Avril play poseur punk. They suck.
