People = Shit is a track by American heavy metal band Slipknot, released on their second album Iowa in 2001. The song's blunt title phrase became one of the band's most recognisable shouts, and short clips of it later circulated on soundboards and in meme edits as a compact way to express disgust with other people. Its staying power comes from that directness: in under two seconds it delivers a complete, recognisable attitude without needing the rest of the song, so editors keep reaching for it whenever a scene needs instant hostility.
