Poser

Redirected from Posers

Posers are individuals who are perceived as pretending to sympathize and identify with a particular subculture in order to gain social status within it. The heckling of posers makes them either learn how to assimilate, or else makes them leave the social grouping. Heckling can be thought of as a balancing mechanism to allow for social order in social groupings.
