Yes kids, that is how you spell poseur. No, I'm not trying to spell it some "fancy french way." Don't believe me? Let's go take a look at handy old Webster's: Main Entry: po·seur Pronunciation: pO-'z&r Function: noun Etymology: French Date: 1872 : a person who pretends to be what he or she is not : an affected or insincere person

And there you have it. Still don't believe me? Let's look up "poser": Main Entry: pos·er Pronunciation: 'pO-z&r Function: noun Etymology: pose Date: 1793 : a puzzling or baffling question Interesting. So, in closing, USE THE RIGHT WORD YOU IDIOTS.

Poseur is the correct version of the more common "poser". The term is used for 2 reasons- A) As an insult, used by one who is insecure and attempts to enhance their image by making people believe they have the authority to call someone else a poseur, or B) One who groups him or her self in a particular social clique in order to appear trendy or "edgy" but doesn't believe in the principals held by said clique and is only leeching onto it in order to avoid the social ridicule of not being part of a clique. A poseur will probably change their "style" once every 6 months, possibly more. The common thread is insecurity- the insecurity to be yourself and be happy with it. Poseurs are the kinds of people who only appear "cool" to people who are just as insecure as they are. But no one ever found success lying to themselves for acceptance.

"Those mall punks are such poseurs, they have anarchy signs written all over their All-Stars, but nota single one of the retarded 8 year olds knows what it is, or that the sweatshopped armbands they all bought at Hot Topic support the system they claim to be rebelling against. Now lets go home and listen to some Yellowcard and cry so we can be hardcore," says the pussy emo kid with the rich parents and cute girlfriend, who has nothing to complain about, before I punch him.

a person who calls someone else a "poser" because they both have the same UV earrings an openly lesbian eighth grader who, for some reason, has a boyfriend someone who listens to the worst music they can possibly find in order to avoid being "mainstream" someone who is reading this to make sure they're not a "poseur"

5. (poseur) (226↑, 72↓)
1. A Conformist: someone who does what everyone else is doing b/c its "in", "trendy", or "cool" to do at the time. 2. Someone who puts themself under a certain label in order to be accepted by others who have conformed to that same label. -It really doesn't matter what you wear or what you listen to in terms of music, as long as YOU YOURSELF truly like the music and the way you look. -You won't be a poseur so long as you do what you like for YOURSELF, instead of doing things to be accepted by people who will find VERY little meaning in what individuality really means.

People who CALL THEMSELVES: Punk, Goth, Emo, Hardcore, Gangster, Ghetto, Indie, MetalHead, etc. Many (NOT all) white teens listen to rap music, not b/c they actually like it, but b/c its the "cool" thing to listen to, and if you listen to any genre of "Rock" music, you are looked down upon as an outcast and an "unnatural freak". But this ok, so long as you are true to yourself.

7. (poseur) (90↑, 26↓)
slang-only 1) N. One who attempts to acheive a status, look or appeal which they do not have the traits to posess. Also could be someone posing as something that they are not, for reasons known or unknown. 2)High-school label. Used as a degrading term toward the sort of people who wear pyramid belts etc. but giggle a lot. However, the label is equally immature. 3)The word that the misspelling "poser" came from, the reason for which being undecided but either a) George Bush didn't like the fact that "poseur" sounded French, or b) some moron couldn't spell and it spread.

Sorry, I can't think of an example but you all know what I mean. If you don't, please just look at other examples.

8. (poseur) (77↑, 15↓)
dude, come ON..... If you acctually like what you say you like then your not a poser exanple- if sombody were to say that they liked Green Day, Avril, and Good Charlotte, and they ment it, then technically they arnt a poser, they are being themselves Another thing Lets say some steriotypically "goth" girl/boy were to have this absolute love of eminem, and like ownd all of the albums and had a few t-shirts and stuff like that, people would call him/her a poseur. Because he/she didnt fit in with the steriotype. IF somebody is acctually expressing themself it does NOT make then a poser not to fit in with anyones expectations that totally defeats the entire purpose of the word. SO A poser is ACCTUALLY somone who does not liek what they say they do example: Some preppy girl decides to wear all black just becasue she wants to be "non conforming" however, she still listens to hip hop and goes sailing in her tiny bikini the end. thats it. move on.

Jenny is not a poseur becasue she acctualyy likes what she says she does.

A poseur is someone who dresses untrendy, because they think it's the lastest trend. Poseurs don't really like they style they imitate; they just dress that way to be cool, popular, or just so people will like them. They are fake, pathetic people.

me: I was uncool before uncool was cool. poseur: I'm uncool because uncool is cool.

anybody who 'likes'/does/wears/listens to/supports something to either fit in or to stand out. these people have no self respect and often no self confidence which leads to them constantly working their image and not being themselves. anybody who labels themselves as part of a social sub-culture (eg. punk, goth, hippy etc) could be seen as being a poseur. most people are, in fact, poseurs. especially those who spend their entire lives trying to be 'crazy' 'unique' or 'random' their insecure natures often lead to frequent style changes.

poseur 1: omg\! red herring is selling Emily the Strange\! Let's buy a shirt and be cool\!\!\! poseur 2: omg\! red herring is selling Emily the Strange\! That's not fair\! i love Emily the Strange, but I can never wear my Emily the Strange shirt again because people will think i'm a poseur\! Genuine Person 1: hey look, red herring is selling Emily the Strange. I really like Emily the Strange and i'm glad that there is yet another place i can buy Emily the Strange products now. Genuine Person 2: hey look, red herring is selling Emily the Strange. That's cool, but i still don't like Emily the Strange.

12. (poseur) (36↑, 11↓)
Someone who pretends to be something they're not and like things that they don't. Also anyone calling someone else a poseur, while being one. Also, poseurs tend to forget that you don't have to be identical to be friends.

the overly insecure bastard who belongs nowhere. they just dont understand that labels and stereotypes dont exist. they just happen naturally. poseurs may dress and spend a million dollars on clothes to make them the person they want to be, but any real person can automatically pick them up from a group of kids, they think they belong to. many preppies become poseurs as they try oh so hard to be in style. listen up my dears, who cares about the word "trend?" we can stress this on and on, but poseurs will never understand that being themselves would be much beter off for them rather than changing their clothes/music taste/dialogue to be something thats "in." think about it this way, being a poseur, evryone in the so-called "label" that ur trying to be in hates you, ur most likely not really enjoying being who ur trying to be unless u hav so much experience as a poseur u might as well jump off a cliff 5 million times and never get rid of ur deadly disease, and u probably hav no true friends. trust me, just be you. dont giv others and yourself a bad name.

a poseur = a prep one week, ur so "G" second week, ur "emo" and hate ghetto shit third week, ur a "metalhead" and ur saying "screw those emo whiney kids" fourth week, u find urself in abercrombie and fitch, "like omg yea i mean they hav like the most trendiest in-style clothes" fifth week, u knock down one garbage can cuz u think its hardcore so now ur "punk" "its anticormbie and bitch, fucken preps" sixth week, well if ur gonna keep changing urself, u might as well suicide, hey u WERE once emo =]

Well, people say a poseur or a poser is someone who pretends to be something they arent. But when poseur is used on kids who like Blink 182 or Good Charlotte, or even Avril, it is just a way for elitists to make themselves feel good. If you like poppunk, pop rock, plain old pop, GO FOR IT\! Its all good. Only conformists listen to shit they dont like because they want ot be punk.

: Hey look at that poseur wiht the green day shirt : shut up man, punk is thinking for yourself, let him listen to whatever he wants. Conformist bitch. : chill out man. : okay. : so...

15. (poseur) (30↑, 7↓)

A person who tries to act like something to be cool. One who says they are one thing, usually goth/emo/gangsta/Hardcore etc. when they obviously aren't.Poseurs don't realize that they are being poseur half the time, which makes it worse. Oh, and skaters. Skaters, Goths, and Gangsta seem to be the most prevelent groups to have poseurs.

Yes, it is Poseur. Read the top rated post, it's explains it all.

Someone who tries to fit in by pretending to like things they know nothing about. People who rely on the talent of great artists to make them look cool because they claim to like it. Most rappers who can't actually write their own music and have to scratch some classic rock song could be considered poseurs. Anyone who owns a guitar with no intention of ever really learning to play it. Anyone who has a picture of themselves playing guitar that doesnt really know how to play.

Stairway to Heaven comes on the radio... poseur: I love Led Zeppelin\! non-poseur: *puts on Cashmir* poseur: I love Puff Daddy\! (hint: if you don't get it you are probably a poseur)

Poseur is a truly moronic term used primarily by those who also meet the traditional definition of poseur (i.e. "trying to be something they're not". The reality is, though, poseurdom is a stage of adolescence. "Poseurs" are simply trying to find themselves, and, as a result, may go through nearly every phase there is. Just like you, the prep turned gangster turned goth turned emo turned skater is trying to establish who they really are.

The only reason one person refers to another as a poseur is because they wish to be seen as "hardcore" by insulting others.

Poseur or as many people say "poser" is someone who tries to fit into a group of people in an exaggerated way. like a skater poser will wear DC shoes and ride an element deck with spitfire wheels and independent trucks(companies which quite a few non skaters will recognize) and carry it by the truck to school and just stand around holding it not doing anything and will brag about things he probably hasn't ever landed and when asked to do them, he will probably say he doesnt feel like it. he will probably rub his shoes against the griptape at home to make it look like hes a hardcore skater and cut the nose with scissors for kickflip marks.

Some one who tries to be what they are not. And not matter how much some peeps want to deny it, you can be a poseur prep as well. Also, in my opinion, you are a poseur if you won’t hang out or talk to someone because they don’t look/act like you. Yup, even if you know a lot about a certain group, you can be a poseur. Just because you don’t remember a song title doesn’t mean you’re a poseur. I forget sometimes. And I admit it. But anyone can know the name of a song, but not know the music. It’s sad that I am considered a poseur because I don’t care about song names. And, you can like a song but not like a band. I like Girlfriend (by Avril Lavign) but I don’t like her. Also, calling some one a poseur doesn’t make you a poseur. My dad calls people poseurs, especially when they try to be punk. (BTW peeps…punk isn’t about the way you dress…its about the music, it’s the way you think…its who you are.) And why is it because you buy something that you don’t know how to use or w/e makes you a poseur? My friends bought himself a skate and then taught himself how to skate. Does that mean he’s a wannabe skater? No, it doesn’t. it means he wanted to learn to do something and he needed the skate to learn. Also, Myspace. Just because someone gets a myspace doesnt mean they are a poseur. Myspace is good for communication and helps keep you in contact with old friends. Any problems with this contact me: AIM: SAILORxMANA e-mail: alice_in_videoland\@sailormoon.com and… pagearmandowolf\@hotmail.com

wearing converse doesnt make me punk wearing mini skirts doesnt make me a prep wearing skinny jeans and bows doesnt make me scene chains don't make me gansta eyeliner doesnt make me goth black doesnt make me emo dance doesnt make me a jock or weak crying doesnt mean i'm sad liking disney doesnt make me immature make-up and low cut shirts dont make me a slut just because i dont like milk, eggs and cheese doesnt mean i'm vegan but all those things together makes me me. so what if one day i wanna walk around in vans and jeans one day and heels and a dress the next. so what if i like to mix things up a little. and so what if i want to dance and wear tutu's. thats just how i roll. but it doesn't make me a poseur. yes you COULD call me punk. maybe even scene. but the truth is, i'm just being me.

\{emo/goth, or say they are 'sk8ter' poseurs\}Someone who acts different than themselves to look 'cool' to others. They might be shopping at areopostale one day, which they call the "prep store." because poseurs highly listen to stereotypes, but they next day they'll be buying everything at hot topic and buying Converse and then writing on them to be cool. They often mimic the girls at school who are popular in their cliques and have boyfriends with side parted long hair. So they ditch their old clothes and take notes of what they wear and go to hot topic to buy them I.E. :Yeah i saw a stidded belt on her mypace, so i'm going to go buy one\!" Then they buy a pyramid belt because their posuers. or, say their little poseur idols wear headbands but don't even use them to hold their hair back, they rush to claires to buy tons of lime green and black ones. But they on't tell anyone where they got them at, because they also think claire's is a 'prep store.' they use anything as an axcuse to be emo. I.e. They get a rude comment on myspace and say "i think i'm going to be emo." even though they think emo means tight pants and a razor, with band tee's. Poseurs call other people posuers, but they spell it "poser." Although the people that tell them this are either not popular, so they don't care, or 2, they were their little idols they mimiced so they tell everyone hlow mean they were to them, so they can act emo, and make themselves be better then them. Even though this is what they say prpes do, but noooo, they always say "I HATE PREPS LOL." even though they don't know what prep really means. They LOOK up internet slang, they usually say they like drugies, don't know what 4/20 is and if you ask them if they know and they don't, they search it on google. they Search lyrics on google and start singing them randomly to sound cool in groups of people, like they've heard the song a million times but don't even have that channel because they have cable and heard at a friends house. Fuse is their favorite show. They think cussing is so cool. They copy original things people do on sites like myspace if the person isn't popular. they do anything to make themselves noticable to the the "emo boys that they could faint when they see." they say 'this sumemr i'm getting an emo haircut and a bunch of clothes for hot topic." they say things like 'i hate george bush" because others do, even though they know othing about politics. they say their antri-social, and athiest. but when their idols say "god is my savor." They sprint to change their myspaces and while editing their profile about how they belive in god and their there savior, they also say athiest are "posers', thus, making themselves hypocrits. They ONLY buy tight jeans, pipeline pants, or "sakter pants." that re ray or black. if they are just turning poseur, they may wear the oly black clothes they have 8578966 times until they "get new ones from hot topic." the only cool shirt to buy is band tee's to them. black is suddentley their favorite color, their normal attitude is happywhen their around people they've known all their lives, but mellow and 'emo" around new people or peopl's who's cliques they are trying to be in. They wear their hair in their myspace pictures all over their face, but they don't in real life. they take pics in front of their "emo or Goth." clothes to try and show off, if they heard the word "gawth" spelled like so, they would try to be original and spell it like that 24/7. they think chatspeak is satans talk or something,and try and talk extrmely fancy because they think people who they think are emo or goth talk fancy and say things like [[[[I need...to have a conversation with you.]]]] and yes they use a million ['s and ]'s, they beg for pic comments so people willgo and see how poseur they are, but they think there "goth and emo." really just sick of all the poseurs. sucks to the people who didn't know them before and can't see the huge act their putting up and are friends with them. watch the show inuyasha with their friend, their friend says they can't wait for the next episode, they \{the poseur\} say "that was...gay." but then hear the "emo" boy at school saying he loves it and they go around telling everyone they love inuyasha. -_-;

A prime example of the poseur Mind: Instead of saying "weee\! this rocks\! i am so happy\!" then say "My friends/people at school will think his rocked\!" They live, to live up to others. Get a guitar or act like they have a guitar to be 'cool'. Say they wear 'skater style." but don't own a skateboard. Waist their childhood sitting around at recess so people will think their emo. Only date guys who are friends with "emos'" who play instruments, look 'emo', or who 'wentout' with their enemy.

basically someone who pretends to be something just because it's 'in' or 'trendy'. but it is NOT someone who changes their look every so often because the are experimenting and going through that thing called 'self discovery' or 'adolescence'. how to recognize a poseur/poser: if they call you or anybody else one. how to avoid it: just be yourself. don't fit into the stereotype of whatever.

do i really need one? 1) him: ha\! look at that poser\! that band is a poserband\! (thinking: take down that band poster and destroy my cds). her: *flippy finger* 2) the real poseur/poser: wasn't he punk last year? what a poseur/poser.

Taken straight from dictionary.com, here is the actual definition of poseur: po·seur One who affects a particular attribute, attitude, or identity to impress or influence others. (French, from poser, to pose, from Old French.) Contrary to popular belief, poseur can also be spelled "poser".. hence this definition from dictionary.com: pos·er 1) One who poses. 2) A poseur. ...for those of you who are still in denial, type both spellings into dictionary.com and see for yourselves.

Anyone who is not true to their own interests and tries to be someone else in attempt to look "cool" or "punk" or "scene" or whatever.

One who dresses a certain way for the fashion, but does not listen to the music (applies to many genres of music including punk, ska, indie, metal, etc.) One who wears skateboarding clothes or shoes, but doesnt skate. For the Emo bullshit out there: Most "emo," "scene," or "fashion core" kids (who almost always label themselves) fall under the catergory of poseurs. This is because most of them are only preps in disguise. *There are however, some respectable kids who listen to this genre (or very similar genres) who have liked the bands longer than this emo fad has been around. but for the fake poseurs: Cry me a river--then drown in it. Some of the most annoying faggots ever. They're extremely fake. They will kill your music and turn it into some kind of fucking fad in anyway they can. Then you see it on MTV--the preppiest channel there is, and you want to kill someone. FUCK POSEURS.

The true way to spell poseur, a poseur is a way to refer to fake people. This could be someone who claims to be, say, [emo] when they cut themself, without know that emo is a genre of music and a state of mind. It's not cutting and suicide. OR a poseur is a [hater]. They insult people who like [Owl City], shop at [Hot Topic], or do anything else that has slipped into the mainstream.

Poseur: ZOMG you listen to owl city, they are so gay\! ur so gay\! Real person: um, one, Owl City isn't a band. Two, it's politically incorrect to call something gay, and three, step off.
