@@kshavon3098 P.O.D. stands for "Payable On Death," but that's a reflection of their Christian beliefs, and not a call for violence. The band spends a lot of time working with young people and trying to represent them in their music. "Youth of the Nation" is a song by American Christian metal band P.O.D. It was released on November 27, 2001, as the second single to come from their second major label album, Satellite. It was inspired in part by the school shootings at Santana High School and Columbine High School. " The song's inspiration stems from a trip when the band was on their way to record for Satellite on March 5, 2001. They were held up in traffic and discovered that the reason was a mass shooting at Santana High School, where a fifteen-year-old student named Charles Andrew Williams killed two and wounded thirteen. The album was consequently delayed, and the band was inspired to write "Youth of the Nation." In a 2008 interview, guitarist Marcos Curiel described the event: "We were rehearsing and writing Satellite a couple of blocks away from the school. One day on the way to the studio, there were all these helicopters and cars speeding by. We really didn’t know what was going on. When we got to the studio, this guy had the news on, and he was like, ‘This kid just went and started blasting fools.’ So we started jamming, and that rhythm just naturally came out, then Wuv [Bernardo, drummer] put that drumbeat on it, and the song was born." Curiel added, "When you can hear something that's going to uplift you like 'Alive' or something that's going to bring out knowledge like 'Youth of the Nation,' we've done our jobs as an artist." "Youth of the Nation" contains three stories of adolescent tragedy in American culture. It begins by describing a teenager skating to school only to be shot by a fellow student. Lyrics go on to speculate whether or not the boy who committed the act felt unloved. Following the chorus, a 12-year-old girl called "little Suzie" is depicted as having been abandoned by her father and subsequently "finding love in all the wrong places." Finally, another teen known as "Johnny boy" fails to fit in with his peers and ultimately commits suicide by f*rearm, "[telling] the world how he felt with the sound of a gat [handg*n]."
yup! they took the name from a banking term I think because it sounded good but it could work with their Christian faith too (not a christian metal band though, POD got just as much hate from youth group/christian music industry in the 90s/00s, looking like they did and playing music heavy as they do)
I totally love this song. In my personal Top 10 tracks. Discovered these guys just a few years ago and def got into their combo of rock and rap. Really great guys, too, very spiritual and care about these things going on. Lots of fire in their catalogue. P.S. The photos are all kids who lost their lives to violence.
The inspiration for this one is P.O.D. were taking a break from rehearsal and were like a couple of blocks from the school shooting; when it took place. This was in East San Diego at Santana High in Santee CA. You might enjoy Southtown by P.O.D.. Also: 'What Comes Around' by ILL NIÑO.
This song was written after the school shootings that happened in San Diego. Right after Columbine. POD l, Payable on Death. Those are pictures of kids killed or shot over the years
Hey sis, I know Ive fallin' way behind, always here for it tho. Cant go to long with out my fix of K Shavon. An amazing song, powerful, heartbreaking. I worry whats going to be in the future for our youth of a Nation. So happy and proud my granddaughters r fighters like their grammy. 🤗😘✌🕯
This song is a banger. It’s sad how relevant it still is. Some kids in this country go through some crazy shit. Loved the reaction, you are fire as always
K u going in my basket fo sho!!! On a serious note this song is so powerful and sad at the same time!!! Our kids need to do and be better!!! As parents we need to empower them into believing they are good and have a bright future and that they feel welcomed and loved!!!
The lead singer (Sonny) was the one that started the early 2000’s craze of naming baby girls “Nevaeh”, as he was featured on an episode of MTV’s “Cribs” and it was his daughter’s name…

Heyyyy Shavon! Lead singer is Sonny Sandoval. Believe it or not, P.O.D is a Christian based band from San Diego. The next song you should do by P.O.D "Southtown". 😘

He reminds me of WWF wrestler “Brett The Hitman Heart”
This is an old song but a great one. I just love your reactions to Athena many genres you share with us…
THANK U BFF♥️♥️
The pictures in the background of the video was all the kids that had died(at the time of the video) from school shootings
THANK U
No, they weren't. They were meant to represent victims of various type of violence in school and committed against youth broadly, including suicide.
