Chop Suey! was released in 2001 as the lead single from System of a Down's album Toxicity and became the band's breakthrough hit. Its frantic shifts between whispered verses and shouted choruses made short excerpts easy to lift for edits. Clips of the opening vocal circulated on soundboards and in meme videos through the 2010s, where the sound was repurposed far beyond metal fans as a universal cue for panic, sudden energy, and an over the top wake up moment.

The short Chop Suey clip from System of a Down, featuring the frantic Wake Up vocal burst. Used in edits for sudden reveals, chaos and meme wake up calls.
This is a 1.5 second burst from Chop Suey by System of a Down, built around Serj Tankian's abrupt, high energy Wake Up delivery over a sudden stop start guitar hit. The sound jumps from near silence to full intensity instantly, with a strained, almost panicked vocal tone that feels both aggressive and absurd. That sharp contrast is why it lands so hard in videos, it snaps attention, punctures a calm moment, and turns an ordinary reveal into something frantic and funny without needing any setup or explanation from the creator.
