So after having a quasi argument over "posers" with someone we all know, I had more questions than answers. This person's stance was such that:
When people who don't fit in with an original group get interested in something, they are all posers.
Anyone who can't wear their genre-attire to work is a poser.
People who dress up (rockabilly for example) when they go to concerts are posers.
Dudes with cuffed jeans, James Dean haircuts, and new motorcycles are posers.
The list goes on. But this dude managed to list off groups that included:
His sister, his best friends, and me.
Now, I don't get it. A person has to make a living. You can't always do it with pink hair, even if that's your passion. Believe me I tried in that stinking corporate pit. So he has less respect for people who let their freak flag fly on weekends and go back to corporate life during the week?
I don't know.
If he wasn't so God damn judgmental in the first place... I probably wouldn't have even started the conversation.
That is my current annoyance.

um. I don't even know what to write here...that's just beyond comprehension that someone would actually put that much thought into it this many years after high school. Poser? I don't think I've heard that word since 1993. Perhaps that's just the dude's inner fear coming out. Maybe he's the poser? Clearly he hasn't had an original thought himself or he would understand how juvenile his discussion points were.
Is this person known for holding grudges for say, oh i don't know...years upon years?
I think we know who he is. :)
Yep, the grudge-keeper.
I cannot figure out his deal. Seriously.
