The Rise of Alternative Rock and Controversial Performances

On this episode of CD Burners, we’re diving into Toxicity by System of a Down with Meredith Hurley from the Millionaires + Emo Nite. We break down the chaos behind the Hollywood sign-inspired album art, the riot that erupted at their release show, and how Chop Suey became a generational anthem. Meredith shares how this record pulled her into heavy music, why its mix of politics, weirdness, and hooks still rips front to back, and how Toxicity became one of the most iconic metal albums of the 2000s.
