Was the Holy Roman Empire truly Roman? Why or why not?

Well you have to be Roman to be Roman. At least the Byzantines had the decency to call themselves all Romans and think of themselves as them.

No, they were living on past glories just like the Romans were living on past glories of the Greeks, who, funnily enough, despised them while they were still around

Holy: Was one of the main Christian defenders of Catholicism, the Emperors was crowned by the Pope themselves
Roman: Held the city of Rome for a time before letting the Pope take things over, the State’s faith IS Latin Roman Catholicism
Empire: Was for a time the largest and most centralised Christian state in Europe and the their rulers were specifically crowned Emperors
Vs the Byzantines
Unholy: Followed the heretical orthodox faith and didn’t attempt to bend to the pope until it’s too late
UnRoman: They are mainly a pagan greek bastardization of the Latin Romans’ faith and culture, lost Rome to barbarians
UnEmpire: They stopped being an empire after the pope stopped recognizing them after Irene the witch
There is no counter to this

The Pope was quite possibly one of the only Westerners at the time to recognise Irene as a legitimate ruler.

It wasn't roman in either an ethnic or a cultural sense. The title of holy roman emperor refers to his right to rule with the authority of the ancient roman emperors, i.e. rule over all christendom. It's hard to understand for a modern person that this doesn't make him roman in any sense.
