VERB. To poserize is to make oneself a total and complete poser in active, organized, and especially PUBLIC fashion. It's a verb so it's a word denoting concerted action of MAKING oneself a complete poser rather than merely being denoted a poser by others. To poserize oneself, one must go to considerable public effort. One cannot poserize another person, only oneself. To poserize could be termed the act of not merely appearing as a poser, but making oneself a poser in public, to the extent that it is self evident and there is no longer a need to call that person a poser, but instead to point out that they poserized themselves.

1. Any person who conforms to a fashion statement rather than an ideal or way of life. Most American universities, colleges and secondary schools keep a steady population of poseurs, usually in art classes and libraries. The poser is known to congregate in small groups, usually of their own ilk, or with real punkers or metalheads in an attempt to fit in. The telltale sign of a poseur is their lack of knowledge of music, art and the culture they are pretending to portray. As an example, the roots of the punk rock movement was based more on all out rebellion and an attitude going against the social status quo and morays. In contrast, the poseur holds none of these values, yet will pretend to.
"My advanced ceramics class is chock full of hipster poser fucks. All they do flip their scarves around and talk about going to shows and making out and doing their hair."
"Did you see those two hardcore guys beat the snot out of that poser guy after the show?"
"Yeah, they broke his nose and stole his scarf"
"Serves him right for wearing a scarf in the summer"
Someone who tries to fit in to a section or label. Basically, they go overboard with what they wear and yet know nothing. (aka surfer posers, skater posers, emo posers ,etc.) they also think that what they where is what those type of people where as well
A poser is someone who pretends to be something they are not in order to look cool. Whether it be a techno poser, an emo poser, or even a lesbian poser, each one pretends to like that thing in order to be cool. Often, a poser will deny the fact that they are lying, and read/copy other people's shirts to prove it.
Showing off your noobie trance music, you poser?

Guy1: Stop looking at our shirts.

Sometimes spelled "poseur," a poser is someone who attempts to assimilate themselves into a particular group with the intent to be accepted, usually on a very superficial level. Often the individual has little knowledge of the group and may adjust their physical appearance, attitude, and philosophies accordingly, and use other tactics to convince members of the group into thinking that they are legitmate. Posers are generally of adolescent age, and usually outgrow this behavior in their adult years. Posers are found in every sub-culture, although they are commonly referenced within the punk, gothic and metal communities. Some bands are seen as "posers" due to their extremely commercial, accessible appeal, giving the impression that they are concerned with popularity and not musical creativity. The term is often incorrectly used to refer to someone who listens to popular music or is otherwise interested in popular social trends; it is not unless this person claims to be part of something while having no real familiarity with it that they should be labeled as such.
Poser: "Yeah, I'm totally into metal..."
Sub-culture tpye: "Really? That's cool. Like who?"
Poser: "Slipknot, Korn, Linkin Park, shit like that."
Sub-culture type: "Do you like any of the classic shit, like Venom, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Exodus, or underground bands like Morbid Angel, Darkthrone, Deicide, Obituary, stuff like that?"
Poser: "Who are they?"
