Record labels want to make money, and money doesn&#8217;t come easy when you&#8217;re trying to push the boundaries of rock or metal music. However, these gambles paid off big, pushing these cult acts to near-unimaginable levels of success. <\/p>\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">System of a Down<\/h1>\n<p><strong>System of a Down<\/strong> is undoubtedly the biggest weird band in metal history. After developing a cult following in their native Los Angeles with lyrics about kombucha mushroom people mixed with messages of mass genocide, <strong>SOAD<\/strong> released <em>Toxicity<\/em> in 2001 and went global. But like other acts who got big and mellowed out, <strong>System of a Down<\/strong> never stopped being weird\u2026 they still made songs about pizza pizza pies and violent pornography while getting banned from <em>Saturday Night Live<\/em>. 20 years later and it all still holds up.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"System Of A Down - PLUCK live,  Sacramento 1999 -DVD\/HD-\" width=\"880\" height=\"660\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V-n8AecTY78?start=86&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Primus<\/h1>\n<p>In the \u201890s, <strong>Primus<\/strong> gave MTV viewers a type of weirdness reserved only for those brave enough to watch public access television at three in the morning.

They defended \u201cshock rock\u201d with appearances on <em>Jerry Springer<\/em> and <em>Joan Rivers<\/em>, and were notably one of Beavis and Butt-Head\u2019s favorite bands.
