SOAD at the Download Festival, 2005

There is some controversy about the genre of the band, about whether it could be classified as nu metal, which sometimes brings up negative connotations, or heavy metal.

System of a Down has been labeled as "nu metal" by some fans and media at the beginning. This can be attributed to the release of their first album, which occurred during the boom of nu metal in the mid-1990s Adding to this, the band participated in the festival Ozzfest festival known for presenting prospect in the genre of nu metal bands. His music includes guitar solos both introductions and intermediates, a characteristic feature of traditional metal bands.

Those who believe the nu metal label should not be attributed to the band argue that there is no rap or DJ used in their songs. Although you can see the influences of hip-hop characteristics of nu metal but do not define gender.

In addition, the band is not considered as nu metal. Guitarist Daron Malakian said in an interview with Guitar World that this pleased that System of a Down has not slipped into the nu metal genre. During a concert in 2005, he said. "They used to call us nu-metal, now they call us prog rock I think they call us in any way to be popular."

In an interview in 2005 with Houston Press, Daron said, "Lately, we've been doing interviews, and people have been saying something like 'You are really leading the new progressive movement', and I wonder if so '. For a couple of years, these people comparing us with Limp Bizkit and Korn, and now we are still here and those bands are not talking about the progressive. It is quite irritating that people always have to have something to compare or band together. I'm not saying that we are the most original band in the world, but do not really feel that we fall into a category of pure heavy metal or rock. There are various elements intermingled into one. "
