Chop Suey is a song by Armenian-American band System of a Down, released in 2001 as a single from their album Toxicity. Built around abrupt shifts between quiet passages and explosive choruses, it became one of the band's signature tracks and a lasting fixture of early 2000s rock radio. Online, its instantly recognizable bursts of energy have made it a favourite for edits, montages and reaction videos, where a few seconds are enough to set a frantic or dramatic tone without needing the full song.
