If you wore a DC shirt and you weren't a "skater", would that make you a poser?

Question

Just trying to understand the whole "poser" concept.

Answer 1

some ppl would say yea

but i dont think so

maybe you just like the shirt

Answer 2

Yes.  That's pretty much what a poser is.  Someone who copies the style of a scene that they are not a part of.

Now, I wouldn't bust someone for just wearing the shirt, especially if they are from Washington DC.  But if they are trying to dress the part of a skater, they should at least attempt to skate.  It's as bad as the kids who put on some black clothes and bad makeup and think they are goth.
