True emos cannot accept normal problems in their life and overblow the littlest issue. They have not learned that everyone else in the world is able to suck it up and solve their problems and they find that dwelling on their misery is a way to live. They ususally want to be classified at schools as "different" or "intelligent" or "mysterious". Usually, they come off as wimps that cannot deal with life. Many true emos will "try" to make it hidden but intentionally fail to further recieve attention, while getting negative attention and teasing.
A poser is truly more stupid than an emo, and pretends to not be able to deal with problems to gain attention. They are a type of attention whore. To mimic their closed-minded idea of an emo, they tend to cut themselves, usually in the radial or ulnar wrist arteries. They also tend to dress (what they would call different) but like a growing trend of kids who attempt to appear slovenly (dirty hair and shirts, makeup, etc.) They call themselves "nonconformists" while not realizing that they are joining a growing number of conformists. Posers tend to try to make it well-known that they are cutters and make an overly large show of their faked depression. Once they recieve teasing, they run off crying and screaming clichés. If they happen to recieve "comfort" (by a guillable idiot for sure) they cannot accept it and start complaining about everything under their delusion that someone cares to hear them whine, while not realizing that they are acting ridiculous.
Incidentally, an extremely large percentage of emos tend to have a good life and possibly better than most average American lives. It follows actually that the people that really do have it bad adapt to it and live with it. While people who have rich parents, lots of stuff, and a smooth life tend to not be able to accept small problems like breakups while the kids who have it bad have learned to handle their family members being murdered.

Event - minor break-up:
Emo: I only blame myself *sniff*
Poser: *sniff*Nobody understands...*proceeds to write meaningless junk and ends up getting more frustrated and cycle repeats*
Kid who has it bad: Who cares I really need to worry about making sure my baby cousin doesn't get killed by our alcoholic mother.

Get the Emos mug.Emotional person or attention seeker. The generalisation that has come to the "emo" society is stupid, they have no clue how to create there own style and have fun, they slot in nicely with the million others. Allthough the name is stupid the steriotype is completely reasonable. Most people are just trying to get along with thier lives and do it there own way, it is hard when every catagory of personality is steriotyped, people cant be who they want anymore. We need to cut everyone some slack and stop the deprecation.
emmo people are dressed in black with a splash of white. emo people have radical and crazy hair cuts.

Get the emo mug.Punk wannabes who like penis in and around their mouths. Also melodramatic rich queers who make a scene about superficial problems in their life. They are seen having dumb "flippy" hair, wear chick pants, and shop at Hot Topic. (Which is not punk by the way.)Or just straight up posers.
Fallout Boy, Hawthorne Heights, Panic! At the Disco, Amber Pacific, Atreyu, Thrice, Story of the Year, Senses Fail, Taking Back Sunday, and My Chemicial Romance are examples of EMO bands, not punk rock. Anyone who says they are punk, are pretty much a faggot.

Get the emo mug.Wondering what an emo is? simply picture this... a teenager aged from 12 to 17 (usually look about 7-9) who have either black, red, purple or other weird colour of hair, usually in a slanted 45 degree angle across the face who actually enjoy reading depressing poetry, hating life, wearing black and stripy clothes(kind of copying moshers), standing completely still at gigs and forming bands with no sense of rhythm or originality. Also, women emo's sometimes aspire to look like a man as to seriously embarrass anyone meeting them who can't figure out what sex they are... they tend to only hang around with other emos or try to hang around with moshers and hate anybody who does not see the world through their selfish, ungrateful pussy eyes.
P.S. Be carefull, if encountering emo or listening to emo conversation cover your ears and run as they usually enjoy pointless unfunny randomness which to us sounds like the insane ramblings of a mental patient who quickly realized that boiling water is hot. But to them it serves as almost a complex second language in which they can have in depth conversations about how much they hate being like others that's why they're emos and how those africans are all starving like dirty conformists.
