"Poser"

#121
a poser is someone who immitates his piers (you all thought it and failed to state it clearly).

every time you call someone a poser, you're being one yourself, since you learned this behavios by immitating your piers.

That means you're being twice as uncool as the person you're making fun of, unless you don't have a problem w/ hypocracy.

Mull it over in the old noggin and tell me if you don't agree.;)

Poser-

Ahh...a word that brings back memories. Posers were guys who liked Winger. Posers were guys who liked Warrant. Real men liked Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden (to name a few).

Posers had the look of real metalheads, but weren't ballsy enough to like the real stuff. They liked wussy radio play stuff.

At least that's how we looked at it in the early 90's.

Being a poser wasn't just relegated to metal. Rap had it's version with MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice fans. Punk had its version with people who tried to look punk but listened to Billy Idol (who lost all his street cred when he went solo).
