Greetings.

I'll start off this rant by giving you a basic definition of a poser.

Poser (poe-zur) N - A person who is a wannabe, a fake. Anything to do with claiming to be something or acting like something you are not. E.G. Good Charlotte. They're fake punk, they're a bunch of posers.

So thats what my rant is going to be about. Tragically Cambridge is full of them. I'd be one myself if I claimed I was anything other than terrible at skateboarding. I admit I suck, so I'm no poser.

So back to Cambridge posers. They piss me off terribly. Especially the ones who have the nerve to call other people posers. Heres someone's MSN name from my list, or roughly the equivalent; "GC fo lyfe [random bunch of stupid symbols and emoticons] Kill the posers!". Wow, first off you're using a phrase like "fo lyfe", if it were up to me I'd sentence you to death by impaling. Second, you like GC. They're not punk, thank you. Third, "Kill the posers?". You have yet to commit suicide.

Now their name is "Pink Punkie(some gay shit)S.I.T. - baby boi you stay on my mind, baby boi you so are damn fine, baby boi won't you be mine". Need I say more? So you're punk at the beginning of the sentence, and by then end you're a goddamn gina. I hope you choke.

Ahem, back to the subject at hand. Top reason why you shouldn't be a poser:
#1. 'Cause then you'd be a poser, shitface.

Moving on, how about some tips on how to avoid being a punk poser? Yes.
First off, avoid these bands, and bands like them; Simple Plan, New Found Glory, Blink 182, Good Charlotte, and pretty much any mainstream band of that sort. I recommend getting your hands on as much Anti-Flag, NoFX, Belvedere, and any similar bands as possible. And avoid wearing 9 feet of weird ass bracelets all over your arms. Spongebob/Bob the Builder/Children's cartoon t-shirts are not necessary. Neither are Roxy shoes or clothes. Not all posers wear 9 feet of bracelets, Spongebob shit and Roxys, and plenty of non-posers do wear this style. I just find it poser.

Don't forget, at the end of the day punk is in your mind not what you wear. And of course the kind of music you listen to. And what you wear.
