Honestly, You people are really stubborn. You have nothing against religion, sexuality, race, but yet, you hate posers. Maybe being a poser is a new lifestyle. I hate people who hate bands just because they are posers. So what. They make music because they like to. Who gives a fudge if they are posers or not. You people are hypocrites. I expect a debate. Bring it you hypocritical bastards.

If expected a debate, why didn't you put this in the "debate" forum?
I also agree 25% of what you stated in there. Especially these sentences, "I hate people who hate bands just because they are posers. So what. They make music because they like to." |

I don't like people who aren't true to themselves. Maybe they're making music to be cool. Or doing stupid things, whatever the case, if you aren't being true to yourself you can't earn my respect. Posers aren't just musicians. Everyone has been/will be a poser at one point in time. I used to try so hard to fit in, then I realized I didn't know me. Now I do, and I love it. I'll admit that I was a poser for about a year and a half, then I said "Wtf am I doing? This isn't me!"

a poser, in my opinion, is somone who does somthing to fit in, especially if they don't like it. alot of people i call "posers" are people who dress ghetto fabalis one day and the next day they feel hardcore so they dress in all black and stuff. don't be everyone, be yourself.
and if i refer to a band as a poser or posers i'm refering to the sound of their music sounding like another older band. like hwo i say "evanescense is a ripoff of lacuna coil" i'm really saying they sound alike and it makes me mad that the second band to do it is getting all of the glory. and everyone is a poser. every single one of us. i know i wasn't the first kid to wear knee high socks. |

No see, that isn't neccissarily a poser. In fact it isn't. Liking more than one type of style doesn't make you a poser. On the contrary, it makes you an individual because you do what you what rather than POSING to be one particular stereotype. |

MTV and the cool kids at school. that prooves that following trened is posing. on top of that! it's erally hard to tell if people are doing it for their own personal choice of the group mentality. but it's exteiemly rare that one does it for him/herself. |

Stores like Abercrombie and Fitch, and all that make cheaper renditions to match the styles introduced by the top designers. yeahhhhh just in case you didn't know smarty. and that's the style because they introduced something that is STYLISH. so people try to buy it. you can only be so different... this is so dumb i can't believe i'm even wasting my time arguing with someone like you |

Posers conform to the beliefs of others rather then their own.
Anyone can be original and their own person. Drastic changes are fine by me, as long as their doing it for themselves and not to fit in with a target group. |

NOT someone who wears the latest fashions If you think that they ARE posers, that's cool and everything, but keep that dumbass opinion to yourself because i doubt anyone else shares it. |

I hate the word poser.
If someone is trying to become someone they're not, how would you know? If I happen to enjoy wearing fob-ish clothes one day, and then decides to change my style to something more preppy-ish because I can afford it or I like the new style and how it looks on me, oh wow, I'm suddenly a poser! I agree that you should always try to be true to yourself, trying to be someone you're not just means that you probably have lack confidence in your own style... it may even mean that you're weak minded. But is being weak but happy because you enjoy your new style more, so bad of a thing? |

I can't speak for everyone else on this thread, but to me a poser is one who conforms to the mainstream instead of being his/her true self... There's nothing wrong with doing what everyone else does as long as it's what YOU want to do; there's nothing wrong with dressing "preppy" one day and dressing a diff style the next - that's not even what I consider a "poser". As long as it's what YOU want to do, not because you feel the NEED to, it's all good. |

I used to try real hard to fit in ... my definition of a poser is just that.
Somebody that tries to be something to fit in. " And everyday when everyone wakes up in the morning and pulls their ass outta bed and they go into the bathroom, they look in the mirror and try to become something. They're like 'What do I wanna be?", you know? The f**kin' alternative kids, they wanna be alternative, so they put alternative clothes on. They become something they want to be percieved as. And the kids that wanna be gangsters or whatever, they put on their shit they wanna be percieved as.But some of us didn't know what the fudge we wanted to be percieved as.We didn't fit anywhere! We were the f**king clowns. It was like, no matter what happened, it was like "fudge them, you know? They don't count!" " - Violent J It's all in the perception. I'm behind J 110% on that one, I mean, what the hell can you argue with in there? The parts in red .. that's a juggalo. Or a juggalette. It's by no means a fan of Psycopathic. It's a person who's just themselves. They wear what they find in the morning, they don't work hard or go out of their way to paint an image because they don't know what they could possibly be besides who they are already. And after years of trying to figure it out, I gave up. And I'm one hell of a lot happier now. Hell, if you fit that category, you're a 'lo or 'lette, too. MMFCL |

i honestly dont understand what the commotion is all about. who gives if somebody is a "poser" and who isnt. i couldnt care less if somebody is not being true to themselves. it does not make them less of a good person as the next guy..let them go through it, 99% of the times its just a phase anyway, theyll grow out of it

why does other people have to connect how a person dresses to the word "poseur"??
i remember the thread "asians wearing ambercrombie" that somebody posted "wear want you want" i concur to that statement because this is a free world indeed i know some people who labels me as a "posuer" until now but i didn't care at all. take note, i never did bother them because they cannot tell who i am and i know myself better than them. and i dont consider myself as a "posuer" because i know that i have my own "individuality" these people [i actually met them in another forum like createblog], however, who labels me who i think are amatuers. [they are in 11th-12th graders and college students here in philippines] they intend to hate other people who they think haven't got any individuality. well how about other people who have got no clue at all? totally stubborn indeed. to be honest i was a poseur before. before i knew the word "poseur". i cannot exactly tell who the hell am i though i have said before i know myself better than the others because i am at the middle of knowing who really am i. after all i'm only 13 years old what i dont get is, why does other people have to label other people instead of accepting them as who they are?? yeah yeah i know they are very irritating ![]() hell i dont care anymore [probably because of the word "posuer" and "label"] what i am into now is how to make myself and my friends happy ![]() ![]() |

QUOTE(orionpax @ Jun 19 2004, 4:45 PM) do u know that avril lavigne is one of the most successful examples of a manufactured artist? do u know she has like 10 movement choreographers telling her which arm to swing when she sings the chorus? she's got ppl telling her what to say, when to say it and how to say it. is that being herself? but i still don't see why people hate her for that. the label owns her and she can't do anything about it. i mean if that the only way to keep your fame and fortune.. then why not? who cares how you look like in other people's eyes. i didn't read every single post because some were just too long. lol, but i think everyone's opinion is right. but personally i dislike calling people posers unless its someone i know really well and is trying to change to fit in. because if you call other people, that you don't know, posers then you have no evidence to support it. because who knows? maybe they're changing to be themselves. maybe what's in and what's mainstream is them. if you're trying not to be a "poser", and rebel against everything and try to be different then everyone else, then you're just becoming a bigger poser. being different isn't original or unique. think about it. like few have said b4: be true to yourself. |

What's so wrong with wanting to look good? I mean if I tried to dress like you don't care what people thought then I would go naked. And just because someone has their own personal style that you don't agree with doesn't make them "fake" I like wearing stuff that I find attractive to ME. I happen to like the styles that are out right now. Sorry I wanna impress people and not have them take one look and walk away. I don't care what people say. Apperance does cout.

labeling people suck. and if you call someone a "poser" when you really havent met the dude/dudett thats just wrong. but why are people stressing about posers? just forget them and worry about yourself. but just keep this in mind: your having more fun than the people who are pretending to be someone else, which is very annoying.

I've just had a thought on this subject- no one can really call anyone a poser. We've all been untrue to ourselves before. Hypocrisy sucks. Also, only the poser can know if they're a poser or not. Maybe they really do like both punk and rap. You can't say "wow, that person is such a poser" just because that's what they look like. That's judgemental, especially if you don't personally know them.
Just because someone dresses a certain way doesn't mean they're fake. They could be, but they might not be. I say give them the benefit of the doubt. ![]() (I've already posted in here, I don't remember what I said and I don't really care to look it up. If this contradicts what I said before then ignore my earlier post.) |

A poser is someone who says they belong to another counter-culture when they acually don't. They're liars, pretenders, and fakers, all in the name of popularaty, poser isn't a type of music or a style, its a thing, like a lie.
Here's an example: I'm Punk, but I won't protest big business, and I don't listen to any punk music, even though that's what punks do. When you say posers making music, I suppose you're talking about the newest "Flavor of the Month" rockbands on the great idol of teenage lemmings, M(I hardly have anything to do with music anymore)TV. People call G.D. and Avril posers because they've claimed before that they're or their music is, PUNK. Any perfectly normal person can look up the history of punk up on the internet and see that they do not fit the pattern at all. Did they protest for social and economical anarchy? No, they did the opposite, they sold out to big money for a spot on TV. Thus claiming to be something they're not, makes them posers. It's not about the clothes, you could dress homeless and still be punk, if you don't mind weird haircuts, whores, drugs, shitty houses, and very angry fist happy people. |

i just hate when people assume someone's a poser. okay if i like rap, hip hop, and some pop, AND rock that doesn't mean i'm a poser. i'm sorry i won't dedicate my musical taste to just one genre. and i'll dress however i like. what i wear isn't a reflexed of my subculture. if i'm in the mood for wearing a miniskirt don't call me a prep. if i show up in all black don't call me a goth. i'm a blend of everything. and if thats what being a "poser" is then fine. just don't hate me for it.

i just don't like it how they try to make you think that they are this kind of person..
but actually they are not, and they are just trying to be someone they are not because they are trying to fit into this music industry where when you say RAPPER people think of GANGS and when you say ROCKERS people think of this rebelling group with piercings and tattoo... Im sure there are alot of people who DON'T think like that but the truth is that themajority of the people DO.. oh, and by the way i love the way you said ["evanescense is a ripoff of lacuna coil"] [ryfitaDF] PUAHAHAHA ive never heard anyone say that -_- |

a musician listener relationship is one of trust. A trust that is that what they see is what they are going to hear. Like if there is a guy dressed all ghetto they shouldn't hear country. When posers dress like punks and then dont deliver it is like lying to the public. People like Good charlotte should dress like rich kids who have nothing to do but be losers who dont like things going on around them.
