poseur
Poseur (or poser) is a pejorative term, often used in the punk, heavy metal, hip hop, and goth subcultures, or the skateboarding, surfing and jazz communities, to refer to a person who copies the dress, speech, and/or mannerisms of a group or subculture, generally for attaining acceptability within the group or for popularity among various other groups, yet who is deemed not to share or understand the values or philosophy of the subculture.
While this perceived inauthenticity is viewed with scorn and contempt by members of the subculture, the definition of the term and to whom it should be applied is subjective. While the term is most associated with the 1970s- and 1980s-era punk and hardcore subculture, English use of the term originates in the late 19th century.〔
==Etymology and definitions==
The English term poseur is a loanword from French, in which it is used figuratively since the mid-19th century with the same meaning as in English〔(According to the TLF, ''Trésor de la langue française'' )〕 to refer to people who "affect an attitude or pose". ''Etymonline'', an online etymology dictionary, argues that since the "word is Eng.() poser in Fr.() garb", the term itself could thus "be considered an affectation".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Online Etymology Dictionary )〕
Dictionary.com says the word refers to "a person who habitually pretends to be something he is not".〔(Definition of poseur ) at Dictionary.com〕 The ''Merriam-Webster'' dictionary notes that the term was also used to refer to a "person who pretends to be what he or she is not" or an "insincere person".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=poseur – Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary )〕 The ''Encarta'' dictionary states that the term is used to describe a "pretentious person" or "somebody who tries to impress others by behaving in an affected way".〔(poseur definition – Dictionary – MSN Encarta )〕 ''The Cambridge Dictionary'' defines a "poseur" as "someone who pretends to be something they are not, or to have qualities that they do not have".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cambridge Dictionaries Online )〕
