Scene Poser

A kid, who copies a kid, who copied more kids, who copied a group of kids, that were scene. Someone who goes on urban dictionary and google and myspace to copy what the real scene kids do, but they over do it. Someone who sits for hours trying to come up with a "random" saying to use as a respond to people. They decide that scene, although they are TRYING to be scene, is who they "really are", even though thats not who they were yesterday. The kids who dye their hair pink, and say its red, the ones who have fake lip piercings, the ones who get freakishly obsessed with guys with long hair, usually named Ryan or Taylor. The ones who run around music festivals and say their name is Zara, as opposed to Sara, and scream, "power to the Chucks!" to anyone who is wearing them, even though half of the kids there are wearing them, as if theyre creative for owning a pair of chuck taylors, even though those shoes have been made since fucking 1905 or something? They usually get their lip pierced out of nowhere, and if theyre the ULTIMATE scene poser, they get a fake lip ring, and then bitch about how their parents wont actually let them pierce it. So the poser will also enlist in some sort of art or poetry class and have this immediate interest in being an artist or a poet and shoving their suicidal pictures and words in your face because no one cares and everyone knows they aren't artistic in any form and probably don't even HAVE the left side of their brain anyway, because it dissolved when the sprayed all that damn ass cheap hair spray on their heads to look cool, even though the girls who usually do that have thin blonde hair so the hairspray just makes them look all crusty.
Example 1-
Scene Poser:"Im so sad that I haven't eaten in the last three days!"
Mary:"Becky, we saw you eat a sandwich yesterday."
Scene Poser:"Oh yeah huh?*breaks out in maniacal laughter*"But Im still depressed..."
Example 2-
Mary:"Becky, is that lip ring fake?"
SP:"Yeth! My parents are so stupid they wont let me pierce it!"
Example 3:
SP:"Nikki, Im wearing TWO different kinda of converse! Isnt that GREAT?!?!?!"
Nikki:"Shut up Becky."
Example 4:
SP:Austin Im sad...
Austin:"No you arent."
SP:"You know what Austin, go eat a sandwich."
Austin:"YOU go eat a sandwich."
SP: "Youre a funny man Austin, funny funny funny..."
Austin:"And your name is Becky."

Metal-Poser 

A male or female, typically in their teen ages, 14-18, who usually listens to metalcore, post-hardcore, deathcore bands es pecially chelsea grin and suicide silence, and nu metal. Genres like these symbolize a typical teenage boy or girl who call themselves "metalheads". These genres are considered to be poser metal to real metal fans. These teenage boys and girls usually bash people for their personal opinion on the music they like and won't be friends with someone unless they have their music taste.

Bands like Of Mice & Men, Asking Alexandria, Motionless in White, Bring Me the Horizon, are examples of fake metal and poser metal.
Metal-Poser: *talking to someone who doesn't have their music taste*, "omg what the fuck, you're such an asshole, your music sucks!"

^ This is typically said by a metal poser to someone who doesn't like their music.

Metal-Poser: "I hate rap and country, it's so fucking gay. Mac Miller and Nicki Minaj and Justin Bieber and all mainstream music sucks!"

Real Metalhead who doesn't bash people for their music taste: "Gosh, leave people's music alone. What are you, a metal poser?"

Music Industry Poser 

Guy who is unemployed/underemployed that has a hobby of doing something with music, but he puts himself out there as working in the music industry as a professional, as if its a real full time job.
Guy read the ad in the back of Rolling Stone, or saw the commercial on daytime TV since he is realistically unemployed about "working with the stars of tomorrow, today."

Since "graduating" from the recording vocational "school" (that has no selection criteria), when he goes out and people ask what he does, he says "I'm in the music industry/sound engineer/music producer/in a band." He'll name drop artists you've heard of, but you'll never read his name credited on any of their albums.

Realistically, he is unemployed, but has a 'hobby' of making one or two albums for others with day jobs every year.

He is flat broke, and will make up fake albums that he has deadlines to meet as an excuse why he can't afford to spend $10 on Friday night.

This guy, is a music industry poser.
