Posers Options

[saintsaens]

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.

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.
