One of the worse bands in the nu-metal scene. Yes. Nu-metal sucks. But not all nu-metal bands suck as as much as the axis of evil, slipknot, korn, SOAD, and some other shitty band I forgot.
It's actually amusing how some SOAD fans represented all "SOAD haters" as backstreet boy fans, or eminem/britney spears fans. Well, I'm not a fan of any of those above. But let me tell you this, the Backstreet Boys had a much larger impact on the 90ties pop music culture than SOAD had on any music scene in their whole career, and unlike SOAD, the Backstreet Boys have fucking talent.
And like SOAD is the "best metal band evar" or "omgz so hardcore", these posers and fugly faggoths are insulting the very air that metal fans breathe(although, it's a commonly known fact that 50% of the SOAD fans are the 9 million armenians around the world, regardless of what music they like, SOAD rocks(moar liek sucks), amirite?).
Faggoth:"Damn, Toxicity is so hardcore!"
Me:"Ever considered to wipe the smear of armenian cum off your ears and listen to some Kreator?"
Faggoth/Poser:"You asshole how can u insult SOAD I'm so gonna raep u kill u eat ur guts u fucker"

Poser:"System of a Down rocks!"
Any sensible person with taste in music:"GTFO."

A terrible political band no matter what your stance is. They are in fact sell-outs, despite popular opinion. They are currently under the Sony label who also owns other artists like Destiny's Child. Sony uses SOAD to get money from idiots who think they are rebellious to make up for the money the idiots won't spend on Destiny's Child or other Sony owned artists. Many also claim their lyrics are brilliant...counterpoint is below in the example.
My cock is much bigger than yours,

one of the best fucking bands in the world!!!!!!
if u dont like them, then ur just a preppy motherfucker who doesnt want to stray from the "in crowd" i mean, look at me, i used 2 be a prep and now im banging my head against the wall listening 3 SOAD, and im proud!!
System of a down isnt just some screaming band (look up the lyrics on ur comp, bitch!) that rocks about absolutely nothing, instead, theyre a very ritious band that goes on tours 4 charities and orphanages and whatnot while rocking about how bad porn, war, etc. is/amreicas mistakes.

What's so wrong about that?

Listen to:"Violent Pornography" and listen VERY care fully to the opening line of "B.Y.O.B." it says "WHY DO THEY ALWAYS SEND THE POOR?!?!?!?" of course, referring to war and how presidents dont fight them
To make my point clear, SOAD is a good band, and if u dont like them, then........................

FUCK OFF AND DIE!!!!!
or....
BURN IN HELL!!!!!
or....
GO FUCK A SHEEP!!!!!
guy standing on top of a skyscraper: SYSTEM OF A DOWN IS THE BEST FUCKING BAND IN THE WORLD!!!!!
50 Cent: BOOOOOOO, dogg, g, homie

And then 50 cent gets jumped on by little rabid squirrels and eaten alive
THE END

I'll admit i like some soad songs but i have to say, and this is in all seriousness (no hate toward the band), but their sound is just generally gay. And i can't think of a better word to describe it either. Gay. For example the guy(s) singing looks just... ridiculous. like a gay version of weird al. i could cite examples.. for example in BYOB the guy who screams sucks DICK at screaming and he looks like a fucking rodent. also it just sounds too bouncy and like... shit the singer says lalalalalalalala. just WATCH them... god... im sorry. no offense to the fans but something just strikes me as unbelievably UNheterosexual about them. (not to be a fag bigot either.. i just cant think of another word that describes them so perfectly). or that song bounce. GAY. (songs i like : chop suey. toxicity. forest. aerials. and the intro riff and first fill in the chorus riff of byob). anyway.. i just had to say it.. anyone agree?
Me: System of a Down is gay.
SOAD fan: fuck you
Me: no offense they just... are
SOAD fan pees on Me

Really. They would be decent if their music wasn't such crap metal. It sounds like they're banging a guitar against the wall and calling it music. Make your music bearable and THEN I'll consider liking you.
SOAD doesn't have bad lyrics, but the music behind them is so terrible it totally degrades the band.
