Hmmm let's see. I'll give an opinion on all 100, with "X" meaning I haven't heard it.

"But BRTD you know that there's a link to play each one right?"

Yes, but I don't have the time to listen to them all I haven't heard, especially since I don't want to stop my Tiny Moving Parts album.

100-X
99-Good band, they have better songs.
98-X
97-X
96-OH MY GOD NO F[INKS] YOU F[INKS] YOU
95-Meh. It's alright.
94-CLASSIC GOD TIER
93-X
92-X
91-X
90-X
89-No. F[inks] you.
88-Overrated band.
87-Definitely a good one.
86-Good band for what they were but not really my thing.
85-Band is alright, meh.
84-GOD TIER BAND, but I can think of plenty of tracks I'd put here before this one. It's good though.
83-F[INKS] YES.
82-Another band that was good for what they were but still kind of bore me.
81-OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD GOD TIER! It's Guy F[inks]ing PICCIOTTO!
80-Decent but not great.
79-Meh
78-AMAZING BAND (saw them just a few weeks ago) but not emo.
77-YES
76-YES YES YES F[INKS] YES!
75-OK this song f[inks]ing ROCKS but it's not emo. Also ridiculous being here if "King Park" isn't.
74-X
73-This band has way better songs more worthy of addition. Good to have them though.
72-Good f[inks]ing song.
71-YES GOD TIER....but frankly 71 is waaaaaaay too low. This is top 20 material minimum.
70-Great.
69-X
68-X
67-Decentish but not #67
66-HELL YES THIS ROCKS
65-X
64-X
63-Decentish but not #63
62-A f[inks]ing legend but NOT EMO.
61-NOT EMO
60-Band rocks, song is not their best.
59-Band rocks, song rocks, is NOT EMO.
58-Eh, another decentish but not #58.
57-Pretty solid.
56-This song has always annoyed me.
55-X
54-GOD TIER BAND but I hope they have later songs, this isn't even in their top 10.
53-YES YES YES YES HELL TO THE F[INKS]ING YES!
52-OK this is absolutely one of the greatest songs of all time but NOT EMO. And if you count it as emo it's not #52, this is higher than #52 on greatest songs of all time of any genre.
51-YES!
50-Talented band but not emo.
49-F[inks]ing great band but this ain't the song that should be there.
48-They have way better songs.
47-Eh, I never dug this one, couldn't live up to Jawbreaker.
46-YES! YES!
45-NO NO NO NO NO THIS IS F[INKS]ING GARBAGE, F[INKS] YOU
44-X
43-HELLS YES GOD LIKE
42-Eh, meh. The guys in this band did way better.
41-OH YES
40-They have like 20 better songs, but this is a good one.
39-EMOVIOLENCE HELL F[INKS]ING YES
38-Great band and song/not emo
37-X
36-God tier band who has WAY better songs.
35-NO! NOT EMO AND NO! And also this band has way better songs than this one.
34-Utterly fantastic band and song/not emo. And they have better ones.
33-YES F[INKS] YES YES YES YES YES! Although this is not their best song.
32-X
31-Not emo/come on, they have so much better songs.
30-A band that I should like more than I actually do honestly.
29-F[INKS]ING LOVE THIS BAND AND AM SEEING THEM MONDAY...however NOT EMO
28-...holy sh!t this is an impressive one. DEEP F[INKS]ING CUT. HELL YES
27-X
26-X
25-X
24-INJECT THIS IN MY F[INKS]ING VEINS OH YEAH
23-X
22-Hahahaha no. And not emo.
21-Great f[inks]ing band, not emo, they have better songs too.
20-OH MY GOD YES
19-THIS IS BEYOND GOD TIER. THIS IS THE ING PINNACLE OF THE GENRE AND OF MUSIC. Frankly I'm pissed about this because it's only at F[INKS]ING #19.
18-OK, I've already stanned this band, so I'm a bit upset: 1-They have better songs. 2-This is not better than Angry Son. Still on it's own it's a great f[inks]ing song.
17-I love this song, but not emo. So not emo.
16-Really really REALLY good song, but...too high, sorry.
15-Another band I didn't get into as much as I should've. Can't blame it being this high though.
14-Same thing, one of my favorite bands, not emo. And I can think of plenty of better songs from them.
13-Eh, it's not their best song but frankly I shouldn't expect those deep cuts to beat this one. I'll take it.
12-OK part of me wants to stan the f[inks] out about this one but sorry this is not their best song or #12. I mean the song f[inks]ing ROCKS ROCK ROCKS but the band has way better ones even on this album. Still can't complain.
11-OMG YES F[INKS]ING LEGENDARY
10-X
9-....
NO! NO NO NO NO NO NO! THIS IS NOT EMO. THIS IS NOT #9. THIS IS NOT BETTER THAN ALL THE THINGS I STANNED BEFORE. THIS IS GARBAGE, THIS IS TRASH, THIS NEEDS TO F[INKS]ING NUKED, I F[INKS]ING HATE THIS.
8-OK let me catch my breath after that last one. YES THIS IS GREAT.
7-GUY.
F[INKS]ING.
PICCIOTTO.
But still this being the only Rites of Spring song...and that it's not "For Want Of" is not excusable.
6-NOT EMO...but at least this song is really really REALLY f[inks]ing good.
5-ABSOLUTE F[INKS]ING LEGENDARY, OH MY GOD YES.
4-...only two songs from these legends, and this is the top one? I can name like 20 better songs from them. Epic fail Vulture.
3-GOD TIER OH YES. I'd argue they have better songs but I won't complain.
2-Not really emo. Still utter God tier band...and this is the first song on the list? Ugh. Still yeah this is their best song, and one of the greatest songs of all time...and I guess they're "emo-adjacent" enough.
1-...sorry, here's a miss. Is this a great song? Yes. Is this is a great God tier f[inks]ing song? Yes. Is this the best emo song of all time. Nope. This is more like 30s material. I would've stanned it elsewhere but I can't here.

And there you go!

Could use more My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy, even Twenty One Pilots or Limp Bizkit would do. But an alright list I guess.

Are there even 100 good emo songs, let alone 100 best?

Also BRTD I don't really get your hate boner for MCR but their most famous songs are pretty overrated I'll agree.

Musically they are dull and generic.

However their image and that subculture they spawned is where the hate comes from. My God.

My intent was to humorously indicate that emo is not a genre I'm interested in.  Listening to those five songs didn't change my opinion. (The fifth one showed some promise until the incomprehensible singing started. In my opinion if you're going to have vocals, then at a minimum, the sound balance and vocal articulation have to be such that you can clearly understand the lyrics. The others had clearer lyrics but were musically uninteresting.) My musical tastes run more to big band, various types of folk music, and baroque.

No I actually do like some of the other "popular" songs on the list even if not emo. Like look at #6.

MCR's early work is pretty dull and generic sounding, their later stuff is just ridiculous. I also was really annoyed by that ridiculous subculture they spawned and while a secondary issue, that's what makes them more hatable than just forgettable.

Fair enough, I guess at first glance at the list and your commentary it looked like you were just hating at anything popular or mainstream or whatever.

I always really liked MCR but yeah their fanbase can be pretty annoying

why do you like Paramore but not other pop-emo contemporaries like MCR? I always viewed them as pretty similar.
