[@ChuckThree]

We need Nik to created corrected versions of all these Spotify playlists

[@SyrenaYenche]

Yeah Nik, give us your full version.

[@LORDFARQUADZILLA]

I love Spotify but their metal and rock playlists are embarrassing. It’s all 20-something’s who love tiktok singers creating those playlists.

Black Parade not being on an emo playlist is scandalous

[@MVJORV]

​@@The_Mothman_Gaming The Black Parade is the album, the song is Welcome To The Black Parade. And while I agree it's the best song on the main album, from the deluxe editions, Emily takes the cake. From all of MCR? Skylines, Early Sunsets, Demolition Lovers, Helena, I Never Told You, Boy Division, Ambulance, Gun. Etc.

[@MVJORV]

@@The_Mothman_Gaming well hey, if you didn't know there's always google so you can look up the tracklist, you can also take classes to learn how to be nice to other people.

I'm amazed you didn't talk about or play any of The Used. Absolutely an underrated band that still pumps out fantastic music.

[@Smousie23]

Right ? I was looking forward to his opinion about The Used but skipping them entirely was really disappointing. They're such a talented and hardworking band that doesn't get enough love most of the time

[@r0Ach84]

yeah, expected i'm a fake to be at least top 10 if not top 5... weird

[@martinsubrt244]

i've been listening to this playlist for like 4 years now and it's really special to me. it has been changing over the years, because 75 is just too low for playlist with best emo songs. 30 seconds to mars were there along with Jimmy eat world, Sleeping with sirens or Falling in reverse. it might be a bit disappointing if you check it once but as I was listening to it since like 2018/2019 I could easily find out what "emo really was" and i love it!

[@JCaleb]

I wonder why

[@10000Winters]

The build up and subsequent let down for the number one song was perfect.

[@S0cialCrisis]

Barely any of the list is emo. My “emo forever” by Spotify is wayyy different? At least the version I am looking at has SDRE, American Football, the Promise Ring, the get up kids, foxing, capn jazz… some real emo classics

[@wienersmcbutts]

Nik has come a long way, from needing Andy to sing Paramore for him to doing the vocals himself!

[@Edymos1000]

Before i was out of high school my mom wanted to see 30STM, then went and saw AFI with me a year later lmao I feel the nostalgia. Although from everything i saw on the list, that Chiodos song should've been #1 by miles. Baby, you wouldn't have lasted a minute on the creek was a staple for 00's emocore

[@firegodlive]

I absolutely love DGD... what the hell is going on here? I demand a recount. Time to make our own emo playlist and get it to the top.

I love DGD too bro but they ain't emo my guy

most emo stuff from them i would say would be Lemon Meringue Tie or Uneasy Hearts but even those are kind of a stretch

[@chimichanga4867]

France Spotify (for me) the first one is Situations by Escape The Fate

Poland Spotify has Helena by MCR as number one(its probably based on what user listen to, because when i used spotify two years ago, and I only listened this song from MCR on Spotify)

@@dev1anceONE I'm not being biased, but I wish I had Polish Spotify. Helena one of my favorite MCR songs(but The Ghost Of You comes out on top).

Spotify's mistake was not playing the song by Jimmy Eat World's Pain, that's definitely an EMO song of a lifetime, obviously the same as the omission of Welcome To Black Parade.

A lot of this playlist isn't really emo so you shouldn't really expect them to be accurate.
