"Toxicity" is known for its aggressive and energetic sound, blending elements of alternative metal, nu metal, and punk rock. The lyrics touch on themes of societal issues, censorship, and the toxicity of modern life. The song's powerful instrumentation, combined with the intense vocal delivery of lead singer Serj Tankian, made it a signature track for System of a Down.
"Toxicity" received critical acclaim and became one of System of a Down's most popular songs. It reached the top of the charts in multiple countries and helped the album achieve multi-platinum status. The song's success further solidified System of a Down's reputation as one of the most unique and influential rock bands of the early 2000s.

    My current husband made me a mix CD with Chop Suey & Prison Song on it to play in my car on my way to work as an Ohio Correctional Officer to help boost my aggression level as needed. I am usually just a Zep head, but some days needed the bigger attitude booster that SOD supplied.
