Someone who pretends to hate anything mainstream, just so they can look cool or like they're punk.
Billie Joe doesn't want to watch Titanic, because he is a hardcore poseur. Yet he has no problem with watching Twilight.
Simply put, crappy punk-rock music.
I think it's funny how 'punks' bitch about how poseur a certain band is, or how band X "is SO much more punk" than band Y, when in reality these 'poseur punk bands' are simply CRAPPY punk bands.
One who begins to act straight edge for fashion, rather than physical or emotional health. Usually poseur straight edges can be identified by being 13-15, ages when most have no choice but to be straight edge, but few choose to flaunt it. Pen-drawn X's on the back of the hands are one of the only things that is similar between a real straight edge and a poseur straight edge. Poseur straight edges are essentially whatever clic the individual was before they found that marker, plus two black x's. These kids usually are not part of the hardcore scene in itself, but try to salvage their integrity by listening to watered-down, cookie cutter hardcore music.
Ernest: Hey! That kid looks hardcore straightedge! Oh wait! He is wearing dickies shorts and 130 dollar skater shoes and he has blonde hair! Whoops!
A highlight reel frame by frame.
This is the poseur's skiing trip (the one where the man with no face at the drive thru served her kids french fries), this is her scuba trip, this is her college graduation, this is all highlight reel stuff frame by frame instead of projected as a continuous motion picture. A poseur photo album if I ever saw one.

This is the poseur's skiing trip, this is her scuba diving trip, this is her college graduation,she just showed everybody the highlight reels frame by frame instead of projected as a continuous motion picture. A poseur photo album if I ever saw one.
Someone that spends most of their life trying to coup somebody else's life and get credit for living their life rather than doing things that actually interest them or what they really wanted to do as a kid. Someone that says they are passionate about music for example (despite not really holding anything sacred) and wants to become a musician not because they actually love music, but mostly to coup the life of someone they know who thought about becoming a musician when they grew up, discouraging the other person from ever trying or even thinking there is a point once they know it will only become another pointless battle for supremacy or some other bullshit their best efforts will get turned into that make the entire thing something other than a party or anything else fun or exciting that it seemed to be when it started out.
Be careful what you share with the mouth of the south, she is looking to coup anything you have any interest in doing with your life from you so that you can never get a life together, thus making you the failure and the fool forever (the weak one). It's too bad that even a poseur can somehow manage to end up in a history book as something other than who they really are, and many people will believe it rather than question what they read, that gives the Reptilian poseur a path to power to walk all over others to get there.
