System Of a Down's 'Toxicity' video has hit one billion YouTube views; watch it here.
The video for System of a Down ‘s 2002 heavy metal math rock anthem “Toxicity” has hit one billion views on YouTube. The lighting switches up as Tankian croons the first verse, “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, of our city,” with a swirl of lights brightening the now-black soundstage along with stock footage of unhoused people on the streets of L.A. projected on the musicians’ bodies before all hell breaks loose on the chorus. As the track revs up its metal jazz breakdown near the end, the stage fills with an ocean of moshers stomping around and pumping their fists.
