How do you tell the difference between a poseur and someone who honestly just likes something you don't?

How do you tell the difference between a poseur and someone who honestly just likes something you don't?

Ask montie

if they listen to Oasis/Radiohead/NMH or any other nu-male essentials then they're a poser

This.

it's just someone not liking the same things as you

Talking Heads Remain Light and Paul Simon Graceland are essential cultural appropriation poseurcore.

By asking them the reasons for liking such things
If they can't answer or their answer is dumb, they're posers.

>liking music for anything other than enjoying the sounds

What is it about those specific sounds you enjoy?

The combination

Found the poser

Poser here.... I just echo whatever pitchfork says about any given band/album.

I also wear a Joy Division tshirt despite never listening to the band (gets me so many compliments).

They make me feel good

Fuck you


Poseurs have deep level taste just to have deep level taste. They fill their charts with avant_____ music that is in many cases good music, but they do it for the image rather than defining their actual taste.

When someone is a tryhard you just notice it. unless that you are a tryhard to...

''Hipsters'' were a fad 10 years ago.
10 long years before.

How do you notice if they do it for the image or in a "real" way?

>everyone who has better taste than me is pretending whaaaaahahaahahahaha
So this is why you are the most shit on trip in existence holy fuck
Codfag and stay

Hipster” is a term co-opted for use as a meaningless pejorative in order to vaguely call someone else’s authenticity into question and, by extension, claim authenticity for yourself.

It serves no conversational function and imparts no information, save for indicating the opinions and preferences of the speaker.

Meanwhile, a market myth has sprung up around the term, as well as a cultural bogeyman consisting of elusive white 20-somethings who wear certain clothes (but no one will agree on what), listen to certain music (no one can agree on this either), and act a certain way (you’ve probably sensed the pattern on your own). One may be quick to coin such interests and garb as "black-rimmed glasses, flannel, and indie music," however said mainstream-avoiding "hipsters" will logically turn down abiding to such a popular consensus, voiding the interpretation null.

You can’t define what “that kind of behavior or fashion or lifestyle” actually is, nor will you ever be able to. That’s because you don’t use “hipster” to describe an actual group of people, but to describe a fictional stereotype that is an outlet for literally anything that annoys you.

The twist, of course, is that if it weren’t for your own insecurities, nothing that a “hipster” could do or wear would ever affect you emotionally. But you are insecure about your own authenticity - “Do I wear what I wear because I want to? Do I listen to my music because I truly like it? I’m certainly not like those filthy hipsters!” - so you project those feelings.

Suffice it to say, no one self-identifies as a hipster; the term is always applied to an Other, to separate the authentic Us from the inauthentic, “ironic” Them.

t. hipster

Unless you're a pretentious dickhead, there's no such thing as a poser in listening to music. You're just following someone's guidelines to what you should or shouldn't like to appease them so you can get their bullshit approval. Like what you like, listen to what you want, you aren't a poser for it whatsoever.

I wear form-fitting jeans, v-necks, glasses, and those types of shoes I like obscure bands and vinyl, I like craft breweries, and I like notebooks and coffee.

But I'm not a hipster because being a hipster is something others label you as. I'm more geeky, I suppose. The indie bands I like play crust punk and skramz, and the "vintage" music I like is bebop jazz. I like craft beer because I only like stouts, porters, and brown ales, and Guinness tastes like shit.
I drink local coffee because Starbucks is too expensive, and the lines are too long. I'm a left-liberal, but I hate self-righteous people, and my best friends are a libertarian Republican, a moderate Democrat, and a socialist, but none of us talk about politics because the subject is annoying.
My notebooks are far thick college ones because they're cost effective.
Smoking is retarded.
Also, I like to exercise.

why do you feel the need to defend yourself?

the poseur abandons the thing after a couple weeks for a trendier thing.

It's more that I like analyzing myself in excessively indulgent ways.

>caring about africans and their "culture"

i shiggy diggy

Fuck off back to Sup Forums, retard

>2017
>not thinking fear of music is their best album

Don't forget Vampire Weekend. The beastie boys and all white rapers (including 1/2 of Run the Jewels). As well as Bjork and Grimes trying to appropiate japanese and chinease aesthetics.

This.

t. point prover

"Poseur" is a buzzword spammed by Montie and Sup Forumstards who can't think outside white generic rock from the USA, UK and Germany.

Fuck them and fuck you for caring, retards.

If they shit all over what you like and then list off bands that are no better

when has anyone ever liked montie or anything he's had to say?

I hate that motherfucker.
