posers

a poser is someone who tries to fit into a profile they aren’t. people who try to give off the impression that they are one thing when they are really another.
also, a poser can be one who says they can do something that they can’t.
or more commonly, a poser is someone who, when doing something successfully, takes more than enough credit for it.
lots of types of posers, for example the guys who hang out with skateboarders but can’t actually skate, even though they have a board.

“like oh my god! she is not pop, dammit! she is totally punk rawk!”
a person who attempts to blend into a specific social group.
justin was such a poser-goth; sure, he comes to school in all black, but he doesn’t even know who edgar allen poe is.
a person – usually in middle or high school, who is insecure about him/herself and trys very hard not to be a “conformist” or a “prep,” by doing things like: purchasing a skateboard or guitar, purchasing a great deal of clothing and accessories from hot topic, and listening to pop-punk bands such as simple plan, yellowcard, etc. usually, this supposedly “nonconformist” behavior just backfires on him/her, because now he/she is still conforming, just to a different group of people. so the moral of the story is to be yourself.
some people are posers.
someone whos acts like someone theyre not,but not realizing that there being fake, basically a loser trying to fit in.

a poser is a girl/guy who listens to a certain type of music or dresses a certain way to impress people or to fit into a certain crowd. often times people get mixed up with those who are posers and those who are not. if you go out buy a sk8r-boi sweatshirt and a skate board and go out on the town and ride around and some one shouts out ” f-cking poser” are you one ? no! come on people..you went out and bought the skateboard so you could…erm get better! seriously how are you ever going to become a skateboarder if you dont practice and get better? *cough exactly* now in a different situation. lets say you go out buy a skateboard…by the way you dont even know the brand of the board and you go out with your friends and just sit there while they do there little skateboarding tricks … so basically you are just there to look cool..then are you a poser. yah? yes!

a poser is a generally slanderous insult with no truthful backing. it is often used among teenagers depending on what someone wears.

however, the literal definition is someone who attempts to ‘pose’ or not be their actual self, to fit in among others.
“dude, john came in wearing an adio jacket and skater shoes today.”
“are you serious? he doesn’t even skate. man, what a poser.”

truthfully, this by no means suggests that john was actually attempting to pose as a skater. he just bought the clothes he wanted.
