"Really? What bands are you listening to nowadays?"
"Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers."
"Screw you Poser."
"Screw you asshole. It's spelled Poseur."

Poser

Someone who acts like they're from Baltimore even though they're from outside Harrisburg. Someone who has not only a thousand different screen names or online profiles, but also has fictional hometowns or current locations, fictional lives to go with them. A poser tries to outdo other people at silliness while trying to get taken more seriously than everyone else.
The poser was always this and that, always under somebody else's skin to make himself/herself look/feel more authentic. The poser wanted an authentic image.
