Heheh. She`s right.

But.. "GOTHPUNKGCLOVER"
I`d say that would be considered as a type posing to a vast majority of people`s opinions.
Why? Because GC [if its Good Charlotte you`re talking about] is far from "Goth."
It`s Pop Punk.
If you`re saying your all depressed and need "head banging" music, try some Lamb of God, or Iron Maiden.

well i have two different definitions.
1) pretending to be someone/thing you're not ex. goth, punk when really you're just a prep TRYING to be a goth, punk, etc.
2) posing for the camera a lot; seeking attention sometimes

agreed, it can also mean (in small cases) a snowboarder

I think he meant by the way she dresses? blink.gif Meh, either way, I don't like labels, but I'm also not too fond of pretending to be something you're not. That even goes towards people who try way too hard to fit into the popular crowd...I think it goes for anyone.

I hate using the word Poser. (Not because I'm one) I just think it's wrong for people to judge people. Although it does piss me off when people walking around calling themself 'punk' or whatever. When you've been in the music biz for 20 years or so, have a grammy or w.e, and are respected then call yourself whatever the hell you want. Besides, I saw this shirt i thought was hillarious it said 'Punk is not dead..You can buy it at Walmart for $14.99'. All and all, I do not believe in posers. I do get called it because I supppasably have the facial structure of avril lavinge (or how ever you spell it)I let people call me as they wish, talk bad about me, I don't give a damn, but they cannot, no they cannot, say I am not true to myself. I do/dress how I want, without giving a flying monkeys butt.

(Lamb of GOd,Iron Maiden, great bands.

Anyway here we have another good point. and I hate when GC fans call GC gothic rock or old school punk. Their far from either.

A poseur is someone who talks shit but can't back it up.
A poseur is someone who pretends to be who they are not...
A poseur is someone who thinks they can fight but cannot.
A poseur is someone who boasts his worthless accomplishments.
A poseur is someone who cannot be in second place (or any place besides first.)

Yup that's all I can think about right now.

TRYING to be something that you obviously aren't.

Hmm.. there are a lot of people that consider themselves punk.
But they only DRESS how they they THINK "punks" would dress.. but they don't act how a "typical" punk would act..

I absolutly hate it when people call other people "posers". It doesn't make any sence. Who are we to judge what people should be? I see a lot of people saying "People pretending to be what they are not" who are we to judge who they are? and how they should dress, or act, or what they listen to. If you want a nose ring then you wan't a nose ring and you like them.. you dont have to be "punk" to get one. If you like sweaters, then wear them.. you don't have to be "preppy". I don't see how a person can be posing if they really like something. Another word I can't stand and is used so freely is the word "fake" .. he's so fake, shes so fake.. I don't understand how someone can be fake.. If your doing it, then its totally real.. If your saying it then its real and its happening. Fake is something that is not real. If your doing something then your doing it because thats the kind of person you are, so how is that fake? even if your "pretending to be something your not..." (ex. If you don't have much money but you act like your aristocratic) If your doing it then your doing it because thats the kind of person you are, so how is taht fake?

totally repeted myself a few times, but its all good... Sorry for the rant.. just a pet peeve of mine :-)

trying too hard to fulfill certain expectations for a certain label, i suppose. basically, being someone you're not with motives such as respect, appearing "deep," nonconformity, belonging, etc. personally, i don't have a problem with so-called "posers." it's not like they're bothering me in anyway.

Your face is a poser.

Don't go thinking you're punk just because you can call some one else is a poser.

Oh, um. And for the what I think is a poser..

Well, I think that a poser is anyone who tries to be something they aren't. Some one who only acts the way they do because they want to be accepted or for some other bullshit reason.

Like... white people who act "ghetto". People are constantly bugging them, because they're not "being themselves". What makes them posers, if that's truly how they are? Just because the stereotypical white person doesn't listen to rap and act like the stereotypical black person doesn't mean that they aren't being themselves. (This whole paragraph isn't really related)

Anyway, if you think Good Charlotte is punk, well. Good for you. That doesn't make you a poser. If you think Good Charlotte is punk and that by listening to them, you are punk also.. Well, that's just wrong. I don't know where I'm going with this. If you only listen to Good Charlotte and/or dress up in "punk" clothing because you want to be cool and/or accepted by the "punk" crowd, that'd make you a poser.

Yeah.

I'm a student who was raised into a metal family, well on my fathers side. My step mom was a huge Cannibal Corpse fan, and liked the hardcore metal stuff at that time, but listened to the older speed/thrash metal Ex:Motorhead, Napalm Death. Well I was also raised up listening to Insane Clown Posse, from my older brother before he went into the black underground, <---The underground style of rap where it's black people being ghetto and shyt. Well I listening to both got accustomed to both, and continued to listen to them when I was at my moms house. Now as i'm older I consider myself a Hardcore metal fan, and a Juggalo. I wear mostly generic/no name black clothes, I have the occasional Tripp/Kikwear/Caffine pants/shorts but only like 3 pair that i've used for about three years alltogether. But I get called a poser from the rich kids who went from "Prep" to "Goth"/"Punk" over the weekend. Most of these kids are the rich kids who used to brag about how much money he brought each day, like who cares? But I get called a poser by people who think Slipknot or MM are the most hardcore bands there is, or think these are the bands you have to listen to or you're mainstream. Um, if you haven't noticed the Slipknot is played on the radio quite regularly, almost half of Subliminal Verses is on the radio. Parts of Iowa, and Wait and Bleed from Self-titled are on the radio constantly. And MM he gets some video play and radio play also. I mean I think these bands are good for the music they play, but it's not goth music. Gothic music is The Cure, Bauhaus and others such as those. I cannot consider myself goth because Goth grew from those bands, I also don't want to consider myself goth, because people then use the P word. It's stupid how people think Hot Topic is underground, and if they dress in Hot Topic garb they are "Goth". Well to break the ground for you they are not mainstream, far from it. Hot Topic is a branch of The Gap. Yes, I said it, Hot Topic is owned and runned by The Gap. So you can't say that I buy myclothes online to a place that a thousand people have visited in the entire time it's been online, that i'm mainstream, you, buying stuff every weekend from Hot Topic are the mainstream groupie. I like the color black because it helps express the music i'm intrested in. I also know somone is going to say, ICP/Twiztid or the psychopathic label isn't underground, Well, how many of their videos are allowed on MTV? Launch only has three videos, I believe Cannibal Corpse outnumbers them in videos. And ICP has a buschel of music videos. They cannot be mainstream, I mean yes their are probably multiple hundereds thousands of fans , but then again, how many millions are fans of Slipknot? So, all I have to say, if you're really all about the music dress to the style of music, but if you go to hot topic and buy them out and listen to Good Charlotte and only Slipknot, don't call me a poser because I don't spend my money on the clothes. I spend it on what's important, the music, you can't be part of a subculture if you aren't about the music. Oh, for the record you can't say you're part of a subculture such as "Goth" or "Punk" if you are about the music and are true, you will develop the behavior/attitude/and clothing style, then people will recognize you as real and not a "Poser"

QUOTE(Forman98 @ Nov 27 2004, 12:20 AM)
I absolutly hate it when people call other people "posers". It doesn't make any sence. Who are we to judge what people should be? I see a lot of people saying "People pretending to be what they are not" who are we to judge who they are? and how they should dress, or act, or what they listen to. If you want a nose ring then you wan't a nose ring and you like them.. you dont have to be "punk" to get one. If you like sweaters, then wear them.. you don't have to be "preppy". I don't see how a person can be posing if they really like something. Another word I can't stand and is used so freely is the word "fake" .. he's so fake, shes so fake.. I don't understand how someone can be fake.. If your doing it, then its totally real.. If your saying it then its real and its happening. Fake is something that is not real. If your doing something then your doing it because thats the kind of person you are, so how is that fake? even if your "pretending to be something your not..." (ex. If you don't have much money but you act like your aristocratic) If your doing it then your doing it because thats the kind of person you are, so how is taht fake?

totally repeted myself a few times, but its all good... Sorry for the rant.. just a pet peeve of mine :-)

hmm... thats true. saying someone is someone they're not doesnt make sense because they obviously are someone. but i think theyre talking about changing themselves to fit in and to be accepted.

1. Someone who tries to be someone they're not. ex- goth, punk, metalhead, gangster. Like, if they say they're gangster and don't like/listen to rap and like they watch PBS, then they're a poser.

2. SUPERMODELS! THEY POSE IN FRONT OF CAMERAS!

I see punk as more of a genre in music... but that's just me. GC's ok, but I've heard better. They're songs are waaaaaaaaay too boring. Now Blink 182....

[FONT=Geneva][COLOR=purple]What is a poser? It's another label thats making society harder to live in every day. How are you going to tell someone they dont dress like that or whatever...maybe they like those clothes. Maybe they are just weaing what they want. Besides um isnt "punk" a lifestyle? Yeah Sid Vicious was called a punk cause he stole,did drugs,and all that good stuff...so if you havent done that and your calling yourself a punk i suggest you go watch sid and nancy or something. But i can understand calling someone a poser when they say they have a certain lifestyle and they dont but clothes wise.....uh no.

A poser is someone who fakes being what they are, for example if someone says he's a rapper, you challenge him and he says no he is, infact a poser. If you have a bunch of white people acting black they are posers( unless they can rap, breakdance or fight.) I myself am not a poser, seeing as I only own 4 pairs of clothes, can freestyle, like fightning and hate all/any form of rock.

Since when did rappers/"ganstas" have to own a limited amount of clothing and hate rock music?

I consider a poser someone who has seen someone doing something or listening to a certain kind of music, so they go and do it, or listen to it, because they think that it is cool. I HATE posers.

Why? Do you think YOU are a poser? No offense.. I mean I can't freaken judge ONLINE over a createblog message board... but your username FORCES me to judge.. First of all, Good Charlotte is NOT punk OR goth. It's pop rock. Ha ha. & you're just making it a lot worse by LABELING yourself as a punk goth. and punks and goths are two different things. and Good Charlotte sucks in my humble opinion. :D AND AS FOR THE POSER THING: you've alreay gotten a lotta replies abiut this, but whatever; a poser is someone who tries really hard/pretends to be something they're not.

A compulsive LIAR!! One who is born with it. I knew this girl, who in high school said she had a four year old son, she lied to everyone and everyone knew. She would also lie about going out with the "Hanson" brothers, and you could totally tell it was a lie. She would lie and still does to this day lie about EVERYTHING! She really has no confidence. Now with the so-called "punk trend", my friend who is in her college class asked her who she hung out with in high school. The liar said "Punks." And she said it while she looked at the floor. My gosh, she was mostly a loner in high school and people didn't hang out with her, only talked to her in class! Her only friends were boyfriends! Now she wears all black, and you can totally tell she HATES wearing that stuff!! She's all like, "aww, I like her earrings..." ANd the earrings were preppy! My friend said that now she's claiming to be related to Billy Joe of Green Day. Now I want to kill her!! LOL. She also had told me that Billy from Good Charlotte is Goth. I told her, "No you idiot, he's pop-punk!" I personally don't like gothic music, but I know GC is not gothic, she is really stupid!!! Oh well, that's a poser, a liar. and believe me, Liars are starting to be everywhere.

Actually... I wrote a theory on this. I will take the direct quote from my Xanga! cool.gif


QUOTE
I'm bored. Do you wanna know why? Cuz you bore me! Whoot whoot! lol. Sorry fo' shizzle my nizzle. LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE! YOU HAVE TURNED ME GHETTO FOR SHIZZLE! Not really... But there is nothing wrong with ghetto. What there is something wrong with are PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY'RE GETTO and they're not. DIE PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY'RE GHETTO!



Writing that gave me an idea. What kind of an idea, you ask? I'll tell you what kind of an idea! WHOOT! lol. Sorry. Random hyperness.... WHOOT!

Okay... This is my theory. It's a theory on posers and why they wish they were posers. First.. I would like to give my personal definition of a poser and what's not a poser.

Poser::
1. Someone who says they are something they're not.
2. Someone who dresses, listens to music, does certain things, etc. to fit in with a specific group.
3. Someone who classifies themselves because they wish to be steriotyped into a certain set of people.

Not A Poser::
1. Someone who does what they want, when they want, and doesn't follow anyone's rules.
2. Someone who lives for themselves.
3. Someone who does not think that anyone has the right to give off their steriotypicalness to them.

That's pretty much it. But, I would like to clarify something. Last year, I, myself, was a poser. I will admit it. I thought I was punk. LMFAO!!! Can you see me punk??

Theory:
I personally believe that many people want to fit in. Many would like to be recognized and seen a certain way. Don't get me wrong, I do not blame these people for this urge. I understand why people would want such things. But, I think the truely desperate people would change themselves to fit in with these people. This, my friend, is a poser. Everyone was meant to be a certain way. There has to be a balance between different clutures, religons, people, etc.. I think the people who change themselves throw off the balance. But, what I believe is there shouldn't be any labeling at all. I, for instance, listen to quite a few different kinds of music. Also, I dress the way I want. I like some ghetto styles, punk, preppy, and anything else, really. I don't care. I think people who label themselves and other people, are pretty damn close minded.

Biggest poser of all time: Joe Pooglielli. I can guarentee you that's not how you spell his last name but, do you think I care. HELL NO! He has one pair of 'punk' pants and one Slipknot shirt.
1. He wears those pants almost every day. Which is just... not right.
2. He wears that Slipknot shirt almost every day. Which, again, is just... not right.

Would you like to know why he does all of this posing? Well, he believes that Hutton is his best friend and that Autumn likes him. I don't know why. THE FAT ASS CAN'T TAKE A GOD DAMN HINT! (I would like to clarify, for any fat people, I don't have problems with fat people. But, he's just... ew.) In history he sits with us and touches our desks and gets all close and acts like our friend. Meanwhile, Autumn is scratching the living shit out of him and glaring at him and telling him to go the f**k away. I'm doing the same. LMFAO!! It was so funny that one time when I plucked him in the head with my pencil. We tell him to go away, leave us alone, not talk to us, not look at us, not be near us, not to hurt our poor poor eyes or noses, and many other things! BUT THE FAG CAN'T TAKE A HINT! Well, yeah he can. But he's SOO f**king DESPERATE that he'll actually take all this shit from us, just to be seen with Autumn and Hutton. Omg... In art, he comes to me and Autumn's table where Hutton is a lot of the time. And the only thing I like about him is he always has gum that he's willing to give me because I'm in Autumn's group when we have class together. He's such an a-hole. Oh well.



Well, I'm out.

love always...x3 Julia


The last paragraph isn't very important. It's just some venting. yawn.gif

it really is poseur..if u know french..you'll understand ..unless if you're talking about a POSER in front of the camera.. yeah.. anyways..i hate labels .... my friend even asked me if i was a punk.. and i was just like, i don't know, i'm MIXED... huh.gif ..so yeah.. but i dunno.. i just feel it when someone IS A POSEUR..like hilary, ashlee and good charlotte.. i mean, really.. hello? ermm.gif everybody wants to be somebody.. but NOT kind of like a hilary-ish way..you know what i mean?? [maybe..?].. Us, humans won't even know if we're following something.. 'cause we sometimes do things just because we have to or we like to.. like for example.. a girl who has a wavy hair wants to straighten her hair NOT TO LOOK LIKE THE ASIAN PEOPLE WITH THOSE REALLY STRAIGHT AND CUTE ASIAN HAIR [i really love those..lol] but because she has too.. 'cause she likes the look of it on her..and also, 'cause if she won't.. UGLY THINGS WILL HAPPEN.. [her hair would get wavy, frizzy, and out of control..hehe].. my teacher even talked about this in class.. happy.gif

haha, lol, HEY! I post photos in the photos threa cry.gif well, umm, I guess a poser is someone who REALLY likes to look at themself and ummmm I donno, thinks they are the greatest and is realyl snobby?

to tell you the truth I have no idea, so here's urbandictionary.com's response:

" 1. poser
1.one who pretends to be someone whose not.
2. who tries to fit in but with exaggeration

2. poser
A person who attempts to blend into a specific social group.

3. Poser
Any one who does not follow his/her own ideas of what he/she likes. Following no one set norm makes you real and following no one set norm makes you poser. Poser is governed not by the clothes, music, or makeup you wear, but rather by the state of your mind and the conformity to your own beliefs.

4. Poser
A poser is someone who tries hard to be something they arent. Usually, posers call other people posers because they are jealous that the person they called a poser is more skater/stoner/goth/punk/rocker/grunge/etc. than they will ever be."

There were mroe but I Think you get the idea hehe.gif

ya, so I Was bassically totally off with ym definition laugh.gif

Posers are the misunderstood of our society. While faggots such as some of you might look down upon them, you do not understand why they (or in their minds) have had to change themselves to be like others.
