they suck

[QUOTE=letmypeopleho]And that's sayin' somthin.


I'm sorry but I like some of their stuff, and they kill live.[/QUOTE]

I never understood what was so great about them. The only way I can tell it's them on the radio is the mediocre clean singing turning to mediocre harsh vocals.

I don't know why I like some of they're stuff. It's like any type of pop song that you have as a guilty pleasure. Also they're older stuff is alot more interesting and progressive (Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat).

I'd upload somthing but I don't have that album.

seems to me that posers (more or less) are just preppy kids who think they can fit in anywhere with the least amoung of effort, like feigning dress and interest, or at least, trying to pass off as a certain group

[URL=http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=225850&page=1]This thread[/URL] has an experience of mine on the first post. hot poser chicks are the worst

Yes seriously,the new Slipknot album and their rare demo Mate Feed Kill Repeat are so far detached from what you would think as slipknot.I recommend these two albums to anybody except for fans of the other albums.It is REALLY good.The only people that I have found that don't like them are previous slipknot fans who think that everything needs to be heavy and fast,even though slipknot are no where near the embodiment of this.I mean on the new album they solo and use acoustic guitars,that right there alone is a progression way beyond anything they have done in the past.Lyrically they have been able to go beyond just saying "**** you,**** the world,**** my parents etc."Their music actually has some substance now and it is just to bad it is so late in the game.I honestly think has their newest album been a debut album by a new band it would be the biggest thing since Nevermind.I think it is THAT good.But however like stated before,they have no credibility.So all the slipknot fans of old just think they "sold out" and all the non-slipknot fans can't take them seriously for 5 seconds.Such a shame.

[QUOTE=fallenstar]I do agree Now what is the biggest posing bands ever. I think Mudvayne is one of them they deserve to rot[/QUOTE]

They are poser with their look but not with their music.

lol I got a friend and everybody knows the kid loves rap, and we started makin fun of rap so like the next day he bought some Rock CD's and he started trying to talk to us and we don't even think the band is good cept for a song or two, but he knows that he likes rap and not rock but he tries to listen to rap so he can be like us, a poser is a person who thinks they know something but don't :upset:

How is Mudvayne a poser band?I can agree that using Mudvayne using makeup in the early stages was just an attention getter.But their music has always stood out.They don't try to sound like anybody at all.

posers should listen to the song walk get their *** kicked and the try and find the selves

Posers are the kids that are so wrapped up in what's cool and what's not, that they forget who they are. They're so desperate for attention that they trick themeselves into thinking somethings cool. Often the spoiled kids, they always get the latest equipment, even though they have no clue what it is, and in some cases can't play it (ie guitars etc.). The posers kill it.

[QUOTE=fallenstar]I have some pretty good ideas what a poser is, but I want to hear from you posters. What do posers act like. What is really a poser. Why do people hate em, so\\ much. What do you think of posers. Please post your Ideas.(thanks) :smash: :evil: :evil: :evil: then :cool:[/QUOTE]

not again

And what a good first post it was!

I think people mistake oblivious listeners for posers. My friend listens to Simple Plan, Evenescense, Good Charlotte, New Found Glory, and 50 Cent, but he doesn't claim to be a "gansta" or a metalhead or a punk. He's a very average person who loves playing the piano. A lot of posers like that music, but that doesn't make him a poser.

I used to think poser was just a skateboard term, cause these kids made fun of a guy that skated because his shoes weren't scuffed up (aperently they become sscuffed when you do tricks.) So the next day he came to school ad they were all scaped-up looking. Turns out he had spent the afternoon rubbing them against a brick wall.

It's in the title. Posers are people who pose as something they're not for whatever reason.

I hate when people make fun of you for wearing skater clothes when you USED to skate. I used to and people still make fun of me. I just say "**** you!" and walk away. I don't think many people do skate anymore, anyways.

Well what the hell do you expect people to think if you wear skater clothes? Perhaps people should now consider that perhaps people are not sporting the trend they advertise with their clothing, rather they used to skate. Hell - why not have a label to all people saying "Note please: I USED to skate, now I do not, though I still wear the same clothes. Thank you, and good day!"

Good point.

It's like this. Posers are out to steal somebody else's glory and they are usually jealous bastards.

I don't care if people listen to ****ty music, as long as they don't claim that they're hardcore, or a metalhead. Like my friend that listens to Mudvayne, Static X and Slipknot and thinks he's the most hardcore metalhead in the whole town...I let him listen to my Arch Enemy album and he said it scared him too much to listen to it. It wasn't even scary, it was ****ing Anthems Of Rebellion. That, my friends, is a poser.

Well said.

poser

n. A wannabee; not hacker slang, but used among
"crackers", "phreaks" and "warez d00dz". Not as negative as lamer or
leech. Probably derives from a similar usage among "punk-rockers"
and "metalheads", putting down those who "talk the talk but don't walk
the walk".

an actual definition from Dictionary.com

I like all the bands listed above. I love that Arch Enemy cd. Still sometimes when there's someone listening to Good Charlotte and thinking they're punk makes me want to punch their throat

Mudvayne is the only nu-metal band I can stand. I don't even like any other form of metal(except some metalcore...converge?) Does that make me a poser?

shut up poser

I was playing Whole Lotta Love on guitar, then this girl in my music class across the room goes 'Hey, you can play the Top of the Pops theme song!' I explained the song was originally Led Zeppelin, she then responded 'I love that guy'. I just didn't reply.

I love it

I have a question, you aren't defined as a poser if you where band T-shirts are you? I don't where them every day or anything I just got a slayer tour shirt at a concert but from what I heard like 14 year old kids just like live at hot topic buying band shirts and fish net stalkings but just because you where a band shirt once and a while doesn't define you as a poser does it?

I just want to say the NOT every Slipknot fan is a poser, I got into Slipknot about 4 years back and I see their shows and listen to their material due to the fact that I like their sound, not cause I'm trying to make a diffenent image of myself, if you talk to a poser sporting a Knot t-shirt you'll figure out their a poser because the only song they've heard is "Duality"

Okay.

Calling someone a poser because of what music they listen to is retarted. It makes no sense and doesn't convince me in the least. Going up to someone and saying,"Hey, you like Mudvayne, you're a poser!" is just plain stupid.

However, buying certain things just to look cool or "because you can" is being a poser.

A poser would be someone who just jumps on the bandwagon to look cool, whether he even knows which bandwagon he is going on or not.
"Slipknot sucks"
poser replies "yeahe slipknot totally like scuks and is hORrible, sellout freaks"
"Yeah, what songs have you heard?"
"uhh duality i think, that song is the taotal sellouts huh".

that is one form of a poser. another could be:
"man do i love slipknot"
poser replies "yeah, they totally pWN"
"Yeah, what songs have you heard?"
"uhh, duality it hhink, but MTV said it was good so it is TOTALLy hXc METAL!!"

for the record, i like slipknot. also for the record, Joy Divison kicks a.ss. i havent heard much mention of them on these forums

Why would you buy a band's T-shirt if you don't listen to them?

Hot Topic is the gayest store, I hate those clothes........

I consider a poser to wear make up and girl pants. Looking like a female is not metal. Now I bet some smart *** will say "BUT DOWN025 IN THE 80S BANDS DID THE SAME THING NUHAHUHU" well atleast those bands kicked ***.
