emo in denial 

A guy/gal who denies that they are emo to avoid even more ridicule from their peers, thus creating only more reason to ridicule them. True emo-kids deny that they are emo because they do not wish to promote the fact that they are emo. An emo poser would promote the fact that they are supposedly emo.

Brad: "what are you crying about you little emo-girl?"
eM: "i'm not emo!" *sobs*
Brad: "you are such an emo in denial."
eM *wiping tears from under her sideswept bangs,
murmurs* "..am not."

-Man, can't believe you listen to Greenday, such emos!
