A poser basher is someone so absorbed with there own image of cool, that they believe anyone who attempts to try the activity the poser basher is good at, must either be hardcore about it 110% or is a poser, and should therefore be ridiculed. Yes there are posers out there, but not everyone that say, "goes surfing once a year" or "wears a certain type of clothing is a poser, and if they are, who cares, only the poser basher. (perhaps the poser basher is really inside the poser him-(or her)self.) If you love something why not be happy for someone who tries that very thing, even if only so they can feel a small part of what you feel enjoying that activity. the majority of the people that say surf, or rock climb, or skateboard, or snowboard, ski, or whatever activity could care less whether your a poser or not, there out there doing there own thing.
Im sure you come across poser-bashers everyday. im not pointing fingers or anything, just saying my piece. But seriously everyone, give the new kids a chance, if someone's having a hard time on a tough problem, or just can't send a wall, or cant paddle out through the surf, or even if they just have the tools, but just dont know what to do with them, go help them out, dont just sit back labeling them, that type of behavior does'nt help anyone out, if you love a sport or activity, introduce others to it, share the love.
but hey thats just my piece.
a. The poser-basher ridiculed anyone who had a hard time surfing, or even just couldnt paddle out through the surf, labeling them a poser.
b. "Look at that kid trying to campus that 5.10 wall, what a poser." (Speaker = poser-basher)
c. SITUATION
kid- "I love surfing clothing, but i don't surf.
poser-basher- "Your such a poser"
kid- "I would start though"
poser-basher- "shut up poser"
WHAT works better
kid- "I love surfing clothing, but i don't surf.
other-"you should try it sometime"
kid-"I want to but its hard starting"
other- "Everythings hard to start, man next time your at a good beach with waves, go down to the surf shop, rent a board, get out there, just paddle out behind and out of the way of a lineup, be respectful, watch the guys there, watch what they do, maybe even ask for pointers, but don't expect them to babysit you, after you have a good idea about it try on a few small waves. You'll either love it, or you won't. but get out there and try"

This is the REAL definition of a poser punk: One who is overly insecure and believes that being a punk has rules. Some may secretly LOVE Green Day and Good Charlotte but they hide it because they are afraid to be labeled as a poser. Others may just completely avoid those bands for this reason. They commonly try to be better than every one else, they criticise Casualties fans because other people do. They completely violate the idea of freedom in punk, They only listen to punk rock. They dont listen to any other genre, unless secretly of course. They are MAJOR hypocrites in just about everything they do.
They claim to be themselves but at the same time they follow the crowd by dissing on "emo". They are too insecure to buy clothes from Hot Topic. They are complete assholes and will criticise you if you spell "punks" like "punx". They will beat the shit out of you if you refuse to drink. If you like SLC punk they will automatically assume that you base your life off of it. If you are wearing normal people clothes they will consider you a poser. In short, they are the worlds biggest pussies and they go against the one thing that punk stands for: thinking for yourself.
Me: Dude, Bauhaus is a fucking great band. So is Katy Perry, she's got some great songs out there!
Poser Punk: Those bands aren't punk! your a poser!
Me: Dude you are closed minded, punk basically has no rules.
Poser punk: punches me in the face
Me: laughs
