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!

P1: Same here, Nu Metal sucks dick!!!

a unique band that has been summarized as nu-metal, metal, rock, progressive rock, and alternative. they have released 5 studio albums system of a down, toxicity, STEAL THIS ALBUM!, mezmerize, and hypnotize. they are the only band in history to release a double album(mezmerize and hypnotize) and have them both hit #1. there song chop suey won the gramy for best metal proformance. they are well known for there "add styled" sound (examples being "sugar" "bounce" and "needels". and there songs are rotted deeply in american politics, war, and drugs. all in all THE BEST FUCKING BAND IN THE WORLD

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

band composed of insane, crazy people with a very wise insight into the political world in which we live today. they be crazy, but their music fucking rocks. definitely not a sell-out band, and for those of you who are poorly enlightened in this field of music the day this classifies as pop is the day i shove a hot rusty poker up my ass, stick a needle down the little hole at the end of my dick and chop my balls off with a blunt machete. it is not pop in any way shape or form. i dont see where people get these things from...
random dickhead:Did ya hear? System of a Down have classed themselves as a pop band!
me: got a needle?
