Chop Suey is a song by Armenian American metal band System of a Down, released in 2001 as the lead single from their album Toxicity. Its frantic opening and shouted Wake Up line became one of the most recognisable moments in nu metal. Clips from the track spread widely on video platforms and soundboards, where fans isolated the opening shout for edits, alarms and reaction posts. The contrast between the calm verses and explosive chorus helped the sound stay popular long after its original release.
