Someone who is only slightly into a hobby simply so they can act as though they’re an expert in it and have an excuse once they are called a poser

Someone who thinks they're making a major statement or changing the world every time they do something an asshole would do, like it's their first time being that way and they have to do/outdo more to prove they are an asshole to other assholes than everybody else.
The poser thought everything he/she said that an asshole would say needed to end up as a quote online somewhere, otherwise people would remember what he/she was like growing up.

Someone who always tries to kick somebody out of somewhere or something (or get them kicked out) and look badass while doing it.
The mall cop rolled up his/her sleeves so that he/she could show off his her tattoos (and power) to everybody in the group, and told them they must have a death wish by being there at the mall, since nobody was allowed in his/her mall after 5 PM. The extreme poser got off on kicking people out of public places.

The guy wished he had been naturally gifted music maker, but knew it wasn't his particular skill set. He would still claim it in public, even if it wasn't his instrument, since he was a band poser.
