Every time I hear this song it brings me right back to 2001 walking to highschool in the morning with my cd player. Those cold mornings walking to school with no responsibility and no bills to worry about lol.
This was my first introduction to metal at age 9 back in 2001 through my friend's much older siblings. I had no idea what kind of music this was until i was exposed again to metal in 7th grade by another older kid. Right after i saved a bunch of money and ordered random CDs off of a mail order catalogue ranging from bands such as Venom, Pantera, Sepultura, Cradle of Filth, Judas Priest, Type 0 Negative, Deicide etc and the rest is history. Lol
LYRICS: Conversion, software version 7.0 Looking at life through the eyes of a tire hub Eating seeds as a pastime activity The toxicity of our city, our city You, what do you own the world? How do you own disorder? Disorder Now somewhere between the sacred silence Sacred silence and sleep Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep Disorder, disorder, disorder More wood for their fires, loud neighbors Flashlight reveries caught in the headlights of a truck Eating seeds as a pastime activity The toxicity of our city, of our city You, what do you own the world? How do you own disorder? Disorder Now somewhere between the sacred silence Sacred silence and sleep Somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep Disorder, disorder, disorder You, what do you own the world?

This was the song that got me into System of a Down. I've played drums since I was six, and when I randomly heard this song come on the radio with the drums, I was like, "WHO IS THIS GROUP??". Googled the lyrics and became a fan. I still air-drum to this song.
My parents showed me this song on guitar hero😅 it was apparently my moms first concert she saw and my dad just likes this band😅 now he wants me to learn guitar since I already play violin and so I can play songs like this😅
Hilarious you say this. The first song I heard from SOAD was Chop Suey. I saw the video and I hated it at first and thought they were freaks. I later heard Toxicity and became hooked and they are my favourite band.
When I was a kid this was the first band outside of kid friendly music I heard. I’m glad it was this band. My taste on music couldn’t be more strict thanks to this band. I love it.
Mine was a ton of rock bands cause of my dad, my favorites were Styx, Lynrd Skynrd, Talking Heads, Foreigner, Alestorm, and Franz Ferdinand. My mom (who I never knew liked rock music) actually showed me this band😅 apparently it was the first concert she saw.
Yes. The vocals are a big part of what makes it so good, and I love how they overdubbed that whisper in the second verse part where he is talking about firewood or something. It gives it an eerie atmosphere that is fantastic.
@@jebbroham1776 i don't understand why... how were they meant to know that the worst terror attack in US history would happen a week later? stupid people smh
Growing up to this and blasting it every other day in my friends Jeep and hearing it in the Nickel arcade it was just...rock, to listen to and grab a slurpie to..ya know...
If we look at the title of the song, "Toxicity" can be interpreted as a toxic substance which, if polluted, can affect all organisms that live in its environment. However, the toxicity of this song seems to lead to human behavior which has the meaning of technological prowess in the field of media and the internet which cannot be separated from human life. deviant or bad human behavior. This deviant human behavior is considered a "poison" that unconsciously affects themselves, their community, their city, and even the world.
In their live in holland 2001 concert Serj gives this neat speech after science about how tech is making us work longer hours and how we lost purpose as humanity... Daron is playing the intro of Aerials as a transition which is a really profound way to link the two songs. One of my favourite moments as it goes deep into these struggles we face about making sense of our existence.
I was once walking through an abandoned asylum with my fiance playing a recording of the guitar tracks from a Stalker mod when she asks "is that toxicity?". That is the story of how I found this song.
this is the bonding music for me and my dad, we got me into SOAD and we grew as fans together. can't believe I'm finally seeing them live next year and he won't be here with me 'cause we live in different states :')
I dont know how to explain it really but the way the drums are played with those fills between the guitars, its like hes resetting or reloading the next sequence of the song. Does that make sense? The drummer for soad is always amazing how much he can switch it up and give the song exactly what it needs
I remember playing rock band with a buddy of mine, and we happen to see this song, he hasn't heard it but I told him it was good. As we got to the end, I said "this last part gets crazy, it'll be tricky" And then we got obliterated.

No responsibility except getting to school, LOL
Born in 01 but was into this music at 06 when I discovered the magic of TH-cam at school 😂, good times…
Same! Had my cd player til I was college around 2005/6 haha, most people had their ipods already then
I felt that.

I've heard this song last year in November. When it was "Eating seeds as a pastime activity" I fell in love immediatelly

Mine was D12 or if we are talking rock i would say system of a down or mitski
This song still goes hard. Always gives me chills 🖤
I don't think there's any other group quite like System of a Down. I totally relate to your chills, the first time I ever heard them I was like 😱
This song will *always* go hard 🔥💪😎😤✊️✊️💯🤙🤙

Same here this my favorite song they made.
All the dislikes are from people who don’t eat seeds as a past time activity
real
It's probably cuz the mix sounds terrible.
@@C_mao wow

And they don’t see life through the eyes of a tyre hub
This isn’t even music. It’s just pure art
yeah yeah yeah
Music is art intrinsically
I reminding my childhood because of this song....
Why tf do people say this as if all music isn’t art? Just sounds dumb
This ain't art, this is uncut dope
the bass on this version is so prominent, adds an extra layer of heavy to it
that opening voice and vocals gives me chills it's so good
Yes. The vocals are a big part of what makes it so good, and I love how they overdubbed that whisper in the second verse part where he is talking about firewood or something. It gives it an eerie atmosphere that is fantastic.
@@astronomer747 facts awesome one of my favorite all time bands
The 2000's were the best part of my life, despite what we went though on 9/11, it was a pretty damn good decade.
Fun fact (not so fun actually)
This album was released EXACTLY a week before 9/11
@@IbukiMiodaa24 yeah I remember they got a lot of flak for that too.
@@jebbroham1776 i don't understand why... how were they meant to know that the worst terror attack in US history would happen a week later? stupid people smh
Yeah it was shocking what your own government did that day.
What we went through… im
Still going through now. Thats why I’m here
This entire album rocks from beginning to end. Soad best to ever do it.
This song will forever be part of my childhood. This song and band, man. Early 2000s Nostalgia! 😎
The irony is that Armenians contribute to the toxicity of Los Angeles. Sounds like System of a Down are talking about themselves.
One of the greatest rock albums of all time!

I remember hearing this song as a kid and to this day I still love it
I’m still a kid, I’ll never stop listening
@@civrizon4227 same
Practiced this song on drums relentlessly as a kid lol still fun to play
the singing way the part of "eating seed as past time activity" is pure example of the Byzantion-Anatolian church hymn singing.
There will never exist a band even close to this level, ever again. ):
What a band. This album is legendary
Serj Tankian's voice gets better the older I get.
His doesn’t 😅
Being a kid experiencing this was golden
20 years later still🔥🔥🔥🔥
Drums >>>
For me i love to play this song only bc the drums, they are amazing to play and to hear
the beggining is so nice
nah nah it's the beninging, you are getting it wrong

The military thinks I got tinnitus from serving, but I actually got it from my Sony CD player with anti-skip on the school bus.

This and their then drug addictions within a city eager to feed them.
I was told this song was about ADHD

Eating seeds is a past time activity
The one StickDeath video called The Carrot Patch introduced me to this song.
Viciada nessa obra-prima.
Mt bom

SOAD: and I took that personally...
Masterpiece.
I remember playing rock band with a buddy of mine, and we happen to see this song, he hasn't heard it but I told him it was good.
As we got to the end, I said "this last part gets crazy, it'll be tricky"
And then we got obliterated.
