Definition

A poseur is someone who dresses untrendy, because they think it's the lastest trend. Poseurs don't really like they style they imitate; they just dress that way to be cool, popular, or just so people will like them. They are fake, pathetic people.

Example Usage

me: I was uncool before uncool was cool.
poseur: I'm uncool because uncool is cool.
