They combine some middle-eastern elements in their music, also drawing influences from jazz, folk, blues and industrial. Although, all band members ARE OF ARMENIAN ANCESTRY. Shavo (bassist) was born in Yerevan, Armenia. Serj (lead singer) and John (drummer) were both born in Lebanon. Some people are saying they're from Armenia, some people are saying that they're not. They formed in 1995 and have released five studio albums to date. System of a Down are an experimental alt-metal/alt-rock band (no, they are NOT pop or nu-metal, before you start calling them nu-metal learn what the genre actually means) from Los Angles, California. Here, I'll write a real definition (with my extra opinion, of course), rather than just saying "omfgz dey r da bezt!!!11" with no intelligent information or input whatsoever. Okay, a lot of wrong definitions here, most of which are just opinion rather than stating what System of a Down actually are. I recommend their unreleased works they're much better.
Some of their songs are about drugs (Prison Song), some about sex (Bounce), some about genocide ( PLUCK), some about nothing ( Vicinity of Obscenity). They don't like saying what their songs are about (they prefer to leave them for the listener to interpret), and try hard not to say. I frequently listen to each and every one of their songs. They've been my favorite band since I first heard them. System is amazing, and has lots of talent. They gained popularity, but what else would you expect from a band? Now for opinion. Before anyone insults them, listen to at least 2 songs from each of their albums. System of a Down has evolved quite a bit from their first album.
System of a Down has many different types of music (it's hard to believe that Lost in Hollywood and Sugar are the same band). As time went on, most would say they got more popular, but made less quality music. System of a Down has made 11 albums (6 of which are demo albums). I will try to leave opinion out of this until the end.
