A lot of people have been saying to be a "true punk" you have to not give a shit about anyone else, This is false. The whole point is to try to make a difference in the world. to change what's wrong with people and everything else. A poser punk would be one that only listens to their music and dress the way they do for the style, or vision in other people's minds. they do it to be cool. punk is about doing something real. poser punks listen to sell-outs, go to sell-outs for clothes, and in turn, will probably become a lawyer or doctor
Poser Punk: Hey, look at my cool new shirt from hot topic, its says sum 41, they are sooo hot! arent I awesome? Real: Your life is just a endless cycle where everyone follows the same rules. How bout we not do that, and instead stand up for what we want, and believe. Hey cool a grey shirt for a buck!
People who think that they are punks but are really just trying to be. The mistake they make is to try to become a punk. Punks are all about not trying to be anything and following your own rules. there is no fashion code to being a punk. there are no rules as to what bands you have to listen to. GC and Simple Plan are ruining Punk because they are posers. One popular band comes out that wears black trenchcoats and spiky hair and nail polish and tatoos come out, and people assume they are punks. these bands are mis-representing themselves and the punk community. people are getting the wrong idea of what punk is.
poser punk: shops at hot topic, wears label shirts;vans, ae,etc. follows any hint of a fashion trend, wears a shirt that says punk on it, thinks all punk is about is breaking rules and acting badass. real punk: someone true to who they are, who doesn't take any crap from anyone, who recognizes the flaws of society, who isn't afraid to be unique and wouldn't be caught dead being called a label.
oohh guess what.. i wear BLACK and have SAFETY PINS stuck all over my clothes. woowwww... i must be a punk! who knew? *go figure!*
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
someone who takes all of their opinions from other people. They always try to do the "cool" thing. they need to learn to think for themselves PUNK HAS ALMOST NOTHING TO DO WITH MUSIC IT IS ALL ABOUT BEING YOURSELF ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF IT IS WHAT YOU LISTEN TO
John is a poser because, he can't think for himself
Not being yourself!
I can't afford to shop at Hot Topic anyways.
