Who can tell me why there IS such a thing as an emo/scene poser?

Home More advice Beauty & Style

Ok, I was getting into a discussion on someone elses question (which is why I moved it and made my own about it). Why must people bother with calling others "posers"? Im starting to wonder if there really is such a thing!! Is there any law that says someone cant dress how they want?

For those of us who take "posers" offensively: Can't we think about it as a compliment that someone would like your style so much as to want to be like you??? =(

Here's the beginning of the discussion cut from the first question:

ilovetiffyx3: When I put on top eyeliner I look to emo

stephanieshoee: Emo is a state of mind. NOT a style. So there really is no way to LOOK emo

Me: Hi(= Well, I think Emo can be both a fashion statement AND a state of mind. Why not? Not like it's a law!

hispanicgirl: I agree. eMO Is NOT a form of fashion its a way of life. trying to Look emo, and not actualy being one, that just plain Poser -.- but w/e.

Me: Even a poser looks like someone. How can emo NOT have a look/style? If it didn't then just WHO exactly are you saying that that poser is copying? No one? If not, then YOU shouldn't be calling that person a poser because apperantly you can't copy a style that doesnt exist now can you!

Come on now. Lets be realistic, it's both. YOU yourself don't have to be BOTH, some people are and some arent.
