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.

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.

Not really a word that can be defined. I mean, freaking come on, I can call anyone a poser. Emos say kids that don't 'Really have problems' aren't truly emo, when they don't have any effin problems themselves! (Honey, if you're buying all your clothes from Hot Topic, then you are well off.) The way you dress doesn't make you a person! How can you really be a poser with a bunch of made up definitions based on how people dress and what music they listen to? Seriously, grow the fuck up and leave this shit on myspace.
"lyk omg, she is such a poser!"
"No offense, I saw you wearing the same eyeliner yesterday, and you don't have anything to cry about..."

A deragatory term for a person who, in order to fit in, conforms to a popular trend contrary to their actual beliefs. Their overall presentation of themselves differs VERY much from who they actually are. the person most likely believes that their true interests would single them out. these people are sad things to see in society as most of them lack pure creativity and life because they have other people think for them.
Person: It saddens me to see that Allie has become such a poser.

a "poser" is a person who sees a popular culture and suckles onto it like a leech, hoping to become "cool"
Ash "oreyt lads, u heard i bet you look good on the dancefloor? reyt tune that!"
Jim "yea! the Arctic Monkeys are OK"
Ash "The arctic who?"
All "OH DEAR! WHAT A FUCKING POSER!"

Someone who poses. In other words, they stand in a certain stance in preparation for a picture, etc.
Hugh Heffner just recently picked my grandmother to be a poser for the December issue of Playboy magazine.

,
And then tries to say that other people aren't doing it right.It's basically the "we're cool and you're not crowd" of immature asswipes who are stuck in junior high and high school "cliques" and can't grow up.Most people who use the word poser are infact posers.
Anyone who can't be their own man or their own woman and has to follow a group or be a joiner or a follower or a gangster or whatever else,in order to feel like they belong.Anyone who's so insecure and so needy that they have to belong to some clique or group or subculture or cult in order feel like they have some "identity" or sense of belonging.Just be yourselves.Just be a man and stand on your own two feet.

Example doesn't use the word poser. Use the word in a sentence.
