They have so many different musical styles and genres in their songs, all intermixed, that it's very hard and stupid to label them as any kind of particular type. They are simply a band that can do anything. They sing about war, social issues of all types, relationships, the suicide of a friend, love, and the Armenian Genocide, the song dedicated to it being entitled P.L.U.C.K. (Politically Lying Unholy Cowardly Killers, i.e. the turks).One thing is for sure though, you haven't seen a live show untill you see a System show. They absolutely rock so hard, like you can't believe, but most stupid Armenians just listen to rap n shit, cuz they're too stupid to understand lyrics that transcend treating women like trash, the acceptance of crime and murder as part of one's daily life, involvement with narcotics, etc, etc, cuz thats all rap is about;[you just have to open your eyes n see ~] I listen to rap too, in fact I listen to everything, but quickly change the station when I all too soon have had enough of rap's filthy, degrading lyrics. Perhaps thats all rap culture has to offer, nevertheless, it's all too easy for armenians to throw themselves in its materialistic, shallow mentality. word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
