  2. Thesis The point of Armstrong’s article is that it is okay to be a poser. It allows is to be creative and express ourselves. We should try new things and not confine ourselves to just one subculture. “It’s how you develop dimension to your personality and interests. You get smart and possibly eccentric from experience; your fantasies become richer, your dreams engorged with possibility.” “Be a poser—because everyone’s posing, all the time, and the realest of us are at least honest about it.”

  3. Don’t Be A Poser Steff Metal http://www.steffmetal.com/ask-a-bogna-dont-be-a-poser/ • Young people are usually the ones who are called posers because they have recently discovered a subculture and are eager to embrace it. • If you are a “try-hard”, someone who is trying really hard to be a part of a subculture, then you are a part of it. Therefore, posers don’t really exist. • People who wear Iron Maiden shirts that aren’t actually into that type of music “don’t know any better”. They just think it’s cool.

  4. What makes someone a poser? Why do people hate posers? Should everyone just stick to one specific subgenre? Do you have to really think about what subculture you belong to, or do you just know? If you have to think about it, does it make you inauthentic?
