Are YOU a poseur?
This is the most up to date poseurcore chart. Poseurs are people who pretend to like """obscure""" music for the sake of posturing - as in, attempting to gain an image of some sort of deep and educated insight that is above the average person. They will often shit on albums people genuinely love to help prove their authenticity, but when you lift the curtain, you shall see these people are worse than the authentic Top 40 lovers. They lack theory or music theory knowledge yet listen exclusively listen to music made for those who do. Typically, favorites include Coil (this is the big one), Comus, This Heat, Les Rallizes Denudes (perhaps the most egregious example, as they have no good releases), Faust, and The Gerogerigegege.
Even more pathetic, however, is the fact that they believe their taste is unique when they, in fact, copied it from the third page of RYM pages or Scaruffi's 8/10s.
These people often conglomerate in /daily/, /RYM/, and /chart/, sucking each others ego off until they actually think they are special for listening to some black guy blow into a saxophone randomly over half a century ago.
Poseur favorites are typically psuedoexperimental edgelord stuff that most teenagers would cringe at like tape music, industrial, free jazz, noise rock, harsh noise, and neofolk.
While there is nothing wrong with any of these poseurcore albums inherently, if you see yourself liking most of these, consider this: you are probably a poseur. Shame on you.
