    There are two rules (that I know of) in the mosh pit:
    1. You get rough and rowdy, but you do NOT fight.
    2. If someone falls, you stop what you're doing and get them on their feet.

As Eminem said so eloquently, IF THEY WERE WHITE THEY WOULD HAVE HALF.” LIV are extremely intelligent dudes but don’t get twisted, middle America and rural whites are drawn to seeing intelligent people of color discover, appreciate and fall in love with what they perceive as “white music” ( Yes I know the history of music and understand where rocknroll started)

    System of a Down are from my hometown LA, they're Armenian-Americans from Glendale, but I'm half-Persian and have always related to and loved them.

They are true rock stars who give no fucks but the music and their message.

    As someone who is a lover of all genres from all over the world. I've fallen in love with your videos. Especially as you explore rock and metal, bands I've listened to since I was a kid, like disturbed, tool, SoaD. I absolutely love seeing your reaction to these bands because it brings me back to when I first discovered them all those years ago. The hype, the confusion, the feeling you feel in your soul from it. I love seeing someone who has a pure appreciation and love for music in general. Genres are borders and not many can hop across borders like you are. Mad respect.

    That's how SOAD is. They're Armenians who went to the same Armenian school in California. But I do know the singer, Serj grew up there as a kid up until 7, I think. He remembers bombs dropping and the death. Their music, as weird as it gets, also talks about the shit that went on and how Turkey still denies the genocide against theirs people.
