Liking both goth shit and Taylor Swift doesn't make someone a poser. However, I have seen a truly mind-boggling amount of swifties creatively redefining the concept of punk and insisting that Taylor Swift is punk, and throwing massive temper tantrums when anyone tries to explain how and why this is extremely incorrect/how and why it is also incorrect to claim to be punk on the grounds of liking Taylor Swift. I would absolutely call those folks posers, because not only do they not understand what the thing they're claiming for themselves even is, they've redefined it to specifically apply to something that is antithetical to its original definition in order to claim it for themselves without making the slightest effort to engage with the actual item.

The deliberate act of pushing back against what is societally expected of oneself is something that resonates heavily with a broad array of people, very much including women who present as mainstream and not overtly rebellious or countercultural.

It may not be punk, but I understand what people mean when they describe that kind of pushback as punk.
