The Led Zeppelin of the 90's, unique, awesome, and will live on for the rest of eternity as one of the greatest bands of all time.

system of a down

a fairly mainstream alternative rock band. commonly associated with nu metal, because of its likeness to korn.
this band is sometimes referred to as a "gateway" band along with marilyn manson, because it brings people to heavier music such as death and black metal.
while it has achieved commercial success, many "true metalheads" respect the band for being better than other popular nu metal acts.

lyrics and music are well-written (compared to other mainstream bands) and are politically-influenced. the band is also known for its political activism with bringing recongition to the armenian genocide of 1915

Hope was a big System of a Down fan until she discovered better music.

system of a down is the most unique band i have ever heard, they combine two things that most music lacks, powerful lyrics, and the insight to not give a fuck about what they say in their songs. i read all the definitions about them and 11 of them were bad. but all the rest were good. ive grown up to system of a down and i love them. so all you haters can go fuck a landmine

system of a down goes hard

A typical teen-alternative band which gives a false sense of rebellion and has lyrics like an M rated Dr Seuss book

"psycho, groupie, cocaine, crazy" ad infinitum

A typical example of a system of a down song

A metal band sometimes refered to as SOAD. The band is from are california not Armenia, however the members of the band are of Armenian ancestry. They take a stereotypical stance on the left like all the other bands that have political lyrics.

If you listen to music or watch movies to learn about politics kill yourself right now.

They ARE nu-metal. And we all know that nu-metal is not real metal. Thus they are FALSE METAL. And as the old sying goes DEATH TO FALSE METAL. Besides that point they're not even that good. I've heard some of their stuff and it was boring. Except for Shimmy, but it got old quick. Thankfully nu-metal is dying out. Well except for Slipknot I don't get why they still have fans. They suck too. In conclusion Soad Sucks.

Yes, it's true System of a Down suck.

Get into real metal like
Death Atheist or maybe Gojira!

one of the worst bands ever. they are so overarted. they suck major ass. the lead singer can't sing for shit. they sound like a five year old kid screaming 'cause his parents won't let him have what he wants. their fans are a bunch of wannabe badasses. their lyrics are gay. their "music" sucks. they are the crappiest 'nu metal' band since limp bizkit. "system of a down"? what a stupid band name.
