Poser

One who attempts to make friends or become closer friends with a group of people by feigning interest in a particular area of culture (music, clothing, social activities).

Generally a poser is someone who lacked friends for not fitting in with any real group, they decided to become more like everyone to make friends. Sometimes they actually do become legitimately interested in the new groups lifestyle, but oftentimes they only pretend and lead a life of lies
"John thinks he's a punk rocker, I asked him about punk rock music, and he told me all about 'Teenagers' by My Chemical Romance and 'Know Your Enemy' by Green Day. I asked him what his other favorite songs by those bands were and he told me he thought they were one-hit wonders. I guess he's a bit of a poser"

Sidenote: Green Day is awesome but if you only listen to their most recent two albums, then you can't call yourself a fan... or knowledgeable about the subject.

poser

someone so needy for attention they act like a fag to get it.
People who think that going to Hot Topic and dying their hair black and listening to Linkin Park makes them cool. They deny the whole indie/goth culture by a)supporting Hot Topic, a multimillion dollar corporation that only wants MONEH! b) doing what EVERYONE with more than a thousand friends on MySpace has done. c) supporting Linkin Park who have a contract with a huge record label that doesn't care about music, just money.
What a fuckin' poser! He bought that Good Charlotte shirt at Hot Topic.

People who will deny themselves and take personalities that are mass-produced by corporate America.

People who like the Ramones more than X or Minutemen because they had more chart success.
