someone who does something to appear [cool] or fit in, normally into some [sort of] [clique]

poser: hmmm i want to be different and unique... how can i do that... i kno i'll turn [goth]/[skater]/[emo] (etc) next day... poser is wearing all black/skate brands(eg vans as they are most popular in "fashion") poser copies what other peopl are wearing and doing, may brag about how depressed they are. also calls themselves what they think they aparantly are and hang out with the people who that think are [goth]/[skater]/[emo], then stops hanging around with old friends as they are not in the same "clique" they are months later... relises that clique is not "in" or [cool] anymore example - poser: hmm..."[goth]" isnt [cool] anymore...i know i'll go [emo]! next day completly changes clothes, puts on a fake personality to fit their new found clique they can copy may start saying say things like: 'why have you done up your laces, i know no one who ties them up. they just tuck them in their shoe' (they, themselves have just left them dangling out to look "[cool]". then they fall over and smak their face on the ground haha stupid poser!!!) if they think theyre skater they may wear converses although theyre the worst shoe to skate in and ive seen little girls who like pink to fat old men with no hair wear them so i have no idea how they became "skater" Poser: hmmm... skater is [cool] right now..(dresses all in skate rand clothes etc) yeah! now im skater but when they actually try skateboarding... they give up after 3 days because they dont like it, but still go around telling people they skateboard so theyll be popular.

Poser

Since punk began, a poser could be defined variously as somebody who thinks Avril Lavigne is "punk," goes to Warped Tour to see Yellowcard while ignoring The Damned, is straight-edge for all the wrong reasons, identifies as punk but is scared of the pit, listens to emo convinced that men with slicked-down bangs and lyrics about trivial high school crushes are huge emotional dramas, etc etc... While the term is useful in delineating false punks from those who truly make the effort to live a DIY lifestyle, ultimately, EVERYBODY is a poser, especially anyone who preaches tolerance while judging what's punk and what's not, makes arbitrary judgments based on a zine's recommendation, or god forbid, looks up punk terms online.

Get real, poser!
