Top 10 Biggest Wannabes and Posers in the Music Industry

Hands down the most abhorrent female rapper of all time. She is no more than a cheap ripoff of Nicki Minaj and other female rappers combined who has no real talent. She tries too hard to sound like a gangsta, going to the point where she sounds incredibly laughable and fake. There is simply nothing to like about Cardi B, she is a more disgusting, more awful, more fake, more unoriginal and more talentless version of any other female rapper. End of story.

I am a white dude in his late 30's and I can easily freestyle and slay Cardi B. Bodak Yellow was so lame. I doubt she has ever seen a gun. Weak sauce.

Cardi B's the biggest wannabe rapper of all time. She's a huge rip-off of Nicki Minaj. Cardi B's rapping isn't original at all. Her voice is also much more cringy than Nicki Minaj's. Even Iggy Azalea can rap better than Cardi B. Also, Cardi B's songs are much worse than Nicki Minaj's songs. Her music if far from being unique and original. All Cardi B cares about is fame and nothing else.

She's such a mindless annoying rat who wants more attention & doesn't put enough effort into music. She's wannabe/poser.

This band isn't even real music. They're some of the biggest posers of all time. They look like clowns trying to be as emo as possible. All they do is whine because they got exposed for being a bunch of rapists and awful people. Their singing's really fake. They abuse the autotune to the max. Their songs are either about sex or whining about their lives. They might look tough and scary, but their music is just some Crunkcore and Techno junk that most people don't care about. They're huge posers and they can't even sing without autotune.

It's like any other emo band but this time, with disgusting lyrics, weird productions filled with video game beats and a singer who is a rapist and an objectively disgusting person. There is nothing original about any emo bands in general because most of them consist of fake meaningful songs and they sound incredibly fake and whiney.

Now, when I think of it, they should be at number 1. They're horrible and they're some of the biggest posers of all time.

To be honest, I should have put them higher than Imagine Dragons.

She sounds similar to Kylie Minogue, to be honest. Her songs are pretty close to the ones by Kylie. Miley Cyrus sounds like a wannabe of Kylie Minogue and Madonna, combined. Miley tried way too hard with her songs. Her music is filled with autotune, as well. Her songs are so unoriginal. Her songs are extremely inappropriate, especially her most recent songs. She also can't sing at all. She's also giving pop a very bad name. She's one of the biggest wannabe singers of the 2010s.

I honestly agree with this she tries too hard to be Alternative or Indie Rock when she's Indie Pop at most.

Is this list intended to be exclusively negative? Because I like her music but I can actually understand why she could be considered a poser given that her persona that is displayed in her music is very different from her real personality.

''Reinvented pop'' she did nothing what so ever to pop. She is, at best, a one off (thank god) whisperer with decent success who ripped of bjork

He's such a terrible country singer. He's my most hated country singer of all time.

These emos tried way too hard with their music. Their music is far from being a good punk band, yet some people call them punk. They have some of the most unoriginal and whiny songs of all time. They can't even play with their music instruments, properly. Tom DeLonge's also a terrible singer who's constantly whining, non-stop. Their music is extremely far from being unique and original. It's not even real punk music, it's either emo or pop punk, at best. The only thing that the members of Blink-182 really care about is their money and their fame, they don't care about their music nor their fans. Out of all the pop punk bands, Blink-182 is definitely one of the biggest poser bands of all time.

It's just a generic pop band disguised as a punk band. Their music is so boring, generic and whiney like almost any other pop punk band I know. They try too hard to sound like an actual punk rock band but fails miserably due to how generic they truly are.

I disagree. I've always considered them more as a band that has fun making music, rather than a poser band. It's what makes them great.

This is basically the more emo version of One Direction but more annoying and even worse. They are just another boy band that is supposed to sound more like pop punk but fails miserably.

They sound like most other boy bands to me.

They're some massive posers, in the music industry. They're not even pop punk, at all. They're more pop rock, pop or power pop at best. Their songs aren't even nearly heavy enough to be called pop punk. Boys Like Girls is also one of the whiniest bands of all time. Their vocals are also extremely whiny.

Hinder may not be that bad of a band, but it's a wannabe music artist. They sound like a rip-off version of Nickelback. They also got somewhat famous with their song "Lips of an Angel." It's not that bad of a song, but it sounds like a rip-off of Nickelback. It's also a much more obscure band than Nickelback. Hinder's less post-grunge and it's more alternative rock, as well.

Hinder is a more bland version of Nickelback. However Hinder isn't the only poser rock band out there which sounds like Nickelback, there is also Theory of a Deadman, Creed and Three Days Grace (The more emo version of Nickelback which gets slightly more phrase than the other bands I mentioned). Nothing original, it has already been done before many times.

Yeah, you're right. They're a bland version of Nickelback, and their vocals are even worse.

Poser? The Sex Pistols were one of the first true punk rock bands. They also influenced countless bands. Not the biggest fan of him and his band but I don't think they are posers

To be honest, I find them extremely whiny. I used to like them, but now I don't. They're mediocre at best.
