Poser

1. A person who buys a band t-shirt to try and be trendy.

Soundgarden’s badmotorfinger t-shirt was worn by a Kardashian on insta so top shop will stock it suddenly and 17 year old airhead posers will buy it.

Band poser

A guy posing as a piano player, guitarist,drummer, or another instrument.

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.

Brain-poser

It combines "brain" with "poser," immediately signaling someone who's faking intelligence. it is direct and a little bit playful, highlighting the act of "posing" as intelligent.

"He spent twenty minutes using all sorts of fancy jargon, but it was clear he was just a brain-poser trying to impress the boss."

"Don't listen to her; she's a total brain-poser who just repeats things she hears online without understanding them."

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.
