An amazing band with a lot of talent and versatility who incorporate different styles of music like Alternative Metal, Folk, Prog-Rock (or Prog-Metal), Jazz, Middle Eastern Music/Armenian music (if you believe Armenia is middle eastern) and even Greek music. They're the only good "Nu Metal" band, don't let the closed minded idiots on here tell you otherwise. Serj Tankian is a very versatile singer and a talented lyricist who sings about real issues, real problems, unlike his contemporaries in the nu metal world.
P1: Dude, System of a Down is amazing!
P2: I hate Nu-Metal, but I do like SOAD
P1: Same here, Nu Metal sucks dick!!!

A Nu-Metal band of Armenian ethnicity. Known for their unique styles of playing and thought out and meaningful (albeit cryptically) lyrics.

They are the best goddamn group, the most beautiful and exquisite music I have ever listened to. the first time I heard system of a down, I knew, I would love it. I love system of a down more than god, hell, I love system of a down more than anything else. when I heard the song shimmy, forest and streamline I felt myself ascend. not to god but to system of a down. system of a down is the god. system of a down is life. live laugh love soad.
Me - ''Yo you listen to system of a down?''
Some little ð¥untface - ''Who? oh, that shitty group where all they do is scream? No. of course not. their music is so meaningless, Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo are so much better.''
Me - ''How fucking dare you say that to my face about soad. your head is so up your ass, have you ever even read their lyrics? if your little piece of a shit mouth tries saying anything like that about soad again, I will shove you down the grave of your grandma so she can see how bad of a person you became.''

An anti american band which is im glad about it. They talk a lot of how american shows off to much......... well americans do show offs specially that baboon ass face George w. Bush or ill say Gay W. Bitch. Well the good thing that system of a down has come to sack the town...... so that the american knows that they show off to much. one of their great song is chop suey..... download them....if you download like avril songs thats mean you are fuckin idiot..... Avril is such a copy cat.... she took some of the songs that already from the group. example: knoking on heavens door (guns n roses) chop suey (system of a down). man if you kill that bitch i give you $20.000.000. aight thats all of the story.

A band that should of been preempted by the Armenian genocide. Supposedly unique but sounds like whiny, angsty numetal
consists of
Serj Tankian - Dadaist joke of a lyricist who can also wow people by bitching about the government
The Drummer - hits everything he can without actually knowing what the fuck he's doing
the bassist - hits the same two notes, goes for four if he feels ambitious
daron malakian - hailed as talented, but in reality can't play for shit and instead relies on trying to look cool for functionally retarded quasi punk/hippy scenesters
