Song Meaning of Toxicity by System of a Down

The song and album title Toxicity is a reference to System Of A Down's hometown of Los Angeles. A place that often gets glorified by stories of glam and fame in Hollywood. However, as local residents of the city, members of System of a Down have a more realistic perspective.

As bassist Shavo Odadjian told MTV:

"Everyone views Hollywood as a glamorous place with palm trees and movie stars, but when we were growing up all we saw were poverty, hookers and bad stuff. It's an evil town — a toxic city, which is how we got the name of our record." - Odadjian, System Of A Down's Schitzophrenia Aggravated On Toxicity, John Weiderhorn, MTV (Aug 13, 2001)
