How do you define poser?

Question

I'm kinda confused with it's meaning... I'm stupid you know!

Can you honestly say that you're not a poseur?

Answer 1

i think its when u try to hard to be something ur not.

and when a person cant name at least 6 (non singles) by a band, but have them plastered all over their binder, or r wearing one of the bands shhirts.

Answer 2

first of all

its spelled poseur and

its just another word for wanna-be

someone who's trying to be what they're not

like a total prep trying to be a punk rocker

or someone who says they can skate but all they can do is just get on the board and ride up and down the street.

Answer 3

Poser is the following:

not authentic

Trying to join the crowd in a fad or style for the sake of fitting in

Lack of sincerity with regard to the group or band

Shallow interest level

Typically "way too enthusiastic" about groups that are "non-fantastic"

Ask generic questions to add intel to their lack of effort to understand the band on their own

Want advice on who to like or not like

Cant make decisions based on their own ideas...need approval of others

Needy

Sad

Answer 4

Someone who finds a song they like on Guitar Hero and immediately claim themselves as a huge fan of the artist.

Answer 5

Everyone has some amount of poser in them.

In another word a poser is a wannabe.  

Posers are (no offense) Guitar Hero players.

It's not always bad because some people rock Guitar Hero.

in short it is someone who wants to do something but can't and isn't too good at faking

Answer 6

back in 8th grade that word was really popular. We just used it to define people who would change themselves to fit in with the "it" crowd.

Answer 7

i don't have any one that i want to impress

Answer 8

I'd say someone who's trying to act like something they are not.

Like dressing as a surfer and having bleach blonde hair and a dark tan when you can't even swim and live like 4 hours from any beach.

Answer 9

I define poser as someone who pretends to be something they are not.

It has nothing to do with music or music appreciation ~ if you like it, you like it. If you pretend to like it to fit in with a certain crowd, then you'd qualify as a poser, but.... who's to say? It's one of those words that I find annoying because it requires passing judgment, and just who gets to make that judgment???

Answer 10

someone who cant name 5 songs that werent released as singles by a band when theyre wearing said band's shirt.

anyone constantly hanging out at a hooka bar too.

Answer 11

Someone who pretends to be into something they're not into just to fit in or be cool is a "poser". That can go for anything, such as fashion, s*x, music, chemical abuse, and other things.

I've known people to pretend to be into really metal, but when pressed, all they like is metal for beginners like Disturbed or Lamb of God. I've known people who have acted like stoners even though they've never even seen a joint. I knew a girl who wore a ton of leather, vinyl, and steel and talked about . . . um . . . BDSM, yet she had zero experience and very little actual interest.

That's what a poser is to me. I can honestly say I'm not a poser. I have never pretended to be on drugs because I have no interest in ever using drugs. If I wear a band's shirt, it's because I like the band, not because MTV told me to.

Answer 12

Jonas Brothers - they pretend to be something they are not cut out to be.
