Poser

-Pretending to be someone or something you're not
-usually in order to fit in somewhere that you're not wanted
-mostly found in groups such as emo, goth, hipster, or scene
-pretending to like things such as music or clothes, but knowing nothing about either.

There were many posers at the concert who didn't even know the bands that were playing or the words to their songs. They looked completely out of place.

Poser

Someone who's always someone other than who they were growing up.

The poser never told anybody he/she was a poser.

Poser

Someone that implies (or says) that because their hair or skin is darker than yours, that they are tougher than you by default, even if they are from further outside a city than you are, or have more money than you do.

There are posers who are from a city, and there are posers who are from outside a city. Some have fair skin and hair, some have dark skin and hair. So really it's a matter of more than just where somebody is from alone.

ghost poser

A person whose likeness is used in place of an authors true likeness in order to protect their privacy and/or appear to be something they are not such that they may be able to speak to certain issues they otherwise wouldn’t be able to.

The author was so ugly he hired me to be his ghost poser. Now I’m on the back of every copy of his book 😎

Poser

Someone who acts just to keep up with a stereotype, and later instead of recognizing it, (Yes they're in denial) they tend to call others who aren't even close to a poser a 'Poser'. Pretty much, someone who believes they qualify for that certain label, but can't pull it off.

"Man, I'm Scene!" "Um, no, coon tail clip-ons and a BMTH shirt is not Scene, shut the fuck up, you Poser."

Poser

Someone that tries to make himself/herself look subserviant or put upon to a wide audience/crowd (for the image he/she wants to show publicly to gain an army that will combat an enemy), even though behind the scenes a lot of people in their life have done a lot of things for them without having gotten paid or credited for, and haven't asked to get paid or credited for.

He/she lived his/her life as a poser and a coward, and would even admit to being a coward when a large crowd wasn't around since it wasn't an incriminating thing to say about himself/herself, but when a crowd/group/party/gathering that he/she had a reputation with was around, he/she was all of a sudden tough as nails, a walking stick of dynamite, or anything he/she claimed to be.
