Poseur

Someone that needs their peers to believe in them, and thinks that everyone else needs the same thing to keep going.
The poseur was a narcissist, she claimed to be different but deep down she saw her own image when she looked at everyone else, and thought that everyone else was the same way.

Poseur

Someone that wants to look and sound the part without really being it.
The girl got a beanie with a crocheted visor to prove she didn't wear a beret and wasn't a snob, not because she actually delivered newspapers, magazines, phone books, or any other periodicals for work as a young boy/girl, a teenager, or even a 20 something, because she was a desperate poseur. She had actually always had more money than the people she was trying to make fun of, but wanted to look tougher because she thought she really was tougher.

poseur

Someone that gets on social media to post about "living" by showing off a picture of themself climbing a hill or doing something else that makes them look "active", then rants about other people that use social media to talk about life, even though they're on social media themselves.
If living is what that poseur is doing, I don't want any part of it. I like my life the way it is, and if the poseur has anything to say directly to anybody that he/she has deemed more passive than him/her, why doesn't he/she?

Poseur

Someone that claims to not care what anybody thinks or about the social status of others, but for some strange reason still tries to tease/make fun of others and make themself look fun/exciting/adventurous/daring in comparison to the other person in the process.
The poseur could see the rungs in everyone's life advancement ladder but his/her own.

Poseur

Someone that has a different name, look/image, and language than the one they spoke as a kid (a language more like an imitation of someone else's) to get liked/accepted by others more than they were as a kid.
He/she must have wanted to be a poseur when he/she grew up, because he/she is speaking in someone else's tongue instead of his/her own, but then again he/she always imitated other people growing up too, without really ever being someone that other people thought about imitating as a kid.

Poseur

Someone that liked Barney the purple dinosaur, Power Rangers, Lil Kim, Britney Spears, and a bunch of other bubblegum pop or mainstream music as a kid and tried to make fun of "weird" music like Nirvana, Nine Inch nails, or even Marilyn Manson, (calling it devil's music or music for people obsessed with sex) then at an oppurtune time in life when he/she sees an advantage or benefit in doing so, claims to love this kind of music and memorizes all the songs, lyrics, and life stories about them so that he/she will beat anybody (Buzz Lightyear style) at his/her superficial, trivia kind of knowledge of music history game about each band.
The poseur doesn't listen to the music to go back to another time, it's not really anywhere in his/her memory or heart, he/she holds nothing sacred, it's just a means to an end for him/her to try and gain newfound stripes with a group of people that he/she hopes won't see right through him/her.

Poseur

Someone that goes the Joan Rivers route after trying the high route and every other route. Someone that made fun of something or someone, then turned into it.
The poseur always used to make fun of people that were different or not like him/her at school, next thing you know, he/she is claiming to be different/colorful/quirky in another town than the one he/she went to school in where hardly anybody from his/her town knows him/her well enough (from childhood) to notice this bullshit. Now he/she goes by a different name and image, one closer to an imitation of the people he/she once made fun of.
