I found this searching for information on the etymology of poseur. I vaguely remember hearing that the term came from the french in the late 1800's and loosely referred to some sort of movement, or it's participants, in art, or more likely, fashion. Apparently, in modern times, some people adopted it as a term to hail punk, not insult it. If my memory serves me correctly, the information came from this catalog or the stores website, if they even had a site. No, I'm not smoking crack...I swear, I heard this somewhere...anyone know?
