Psychosocial was released in 2008 as the lead single from Slipknot's fourth album All Hope Is Gone. Fronted by Corey Taylor, the Iowa band blended nu metal, grooves and melodic choruses, and the track became one of their most streamed and performed songs. Its distinctive riff and call and response vocal made short excerpts easy to lift for edits, compilations and soundboards. Years later fans still use the clip to signal intensity, nostalgia for 2000s metal, and fandom, well beyond the original album cycle and tours.
