Therapist is scared of Spiders by System of a Down

[@everyonelovesmajima]

I just enjoy pointing out that they also have a song about pizza toppings.

[@wolfgangengel4835]

Which is a criticism on the advertising industry, but yes. XD I love how they can be silly and deep at the same time.

[@igoriksanov9539]

Pizza pizza pie!

[@FakeBeatle538]

Chic n Stu !!!!

[@Z_TPI]

Pepperoni and green peppers, mushrooms, olives, chives! 🍕

[@williamclose6978]

Pogo

[@majdrandoms5807]

Soil is the perfect system of a down song that a therapist could react to

[@jasonbloated1252]

I’ve commented this before and second this notion once again. SOIL would be incredible to see here

[@deletado12]

Serj is a great musician and humanist, peace for the people of Armenia.

[@KyleS.1987]

The shot of the lady rising out of the water is so cool.

[@sipenarekbecha7193]

I adore the last part of her (the slow-mo rising head tilts one) 😳

[@LJ-yz4ob]

I’m 60 and love SOAD. They are on my bucket list to see. Great reaction!

[@jamesbanks5291]

The V chip was a feature on late 90s TVs that would black out violent scenes

[@floydo1840]

Wow

[@Skurian_krotesk]

You are the first reaction video i saw that, not only put attention to those absolutely brilliant lyrics, but also nailed the interpretation. Music is kinda like a superpower in a way, as an artist, you get the opportunity to write a message to the world! Tailor Swift choses to tell the world about miserable relationships from 20 ex-boyfriends while system of a down choses to tell you that you should be aware of how others influence your state mind in a negative way, so you can start protecting yourself. There is definately a difference in value here.

[@dinkin_flicka14]

How do you calculate value? I'm pretty sure there are lots of broken hearted people who can relate to her songs and feel like, "hey i know it's shitty but I'm not alone." it's therapeutic and that's why so many of us love music. Her style may not be your style, but we don't have to put a person down to celebrate another.

[@justaguyfromeurope]

@@dinkin_flicka14 I feel you're just being pedantic for the sake of being pedantic. As a comparison: yes, fast food is - technically - food and most people that choose to consume it do so because it's cheap and convenient, but do we all collectively need to point out the difference between fast food and a home cooked / proper restaurant meal with quality ingredients or the difference in the effects on your body? Stop being the way you are. Please. (Also, there are plenty of "healthy" musical options for broken hearts, instead of the fast food music that people like the aforementioned Taylor Swift put out)

[@somemonkeystirnerite]

@@justaguyfromeuropefalse equivalence fallacy. Point can only be rejected.

[@flingonber]

@@justaguyfromeurope Take it from an old guy who has listened to and played metal his whole life, Taylor Swift is a MASTER songwriter. Like Beatles level songwriter. I don't want to listen to her music (for that matter, I don't want to listen to the Beatles either), but she is insanely talented at writing songs. There are tons of pop stars who would have fit your insult, but you picked one so wrong that it's clear you don't know what you're talking about.

[@Plunder13]

If you haven’t reacted to Forest or Prison Song, please give them a go. SOAD are brilliant.

[@seantheo]

I’m a therapist who loves metal and i appreciate your channel!

[@thefourty-yearoldgamer8289]

i love SOAD so much! Serj's voice is just amazing!! seeing your face as you hear the song is just awesome..

[@hayksergoyan8914]

Dreaming, Soldier side,Question, Cigaro, Peephole... And this list goes through many their great songs. You can choose 1 of suggested for next. thanks for your work

[@tiges1972]

You have to give holy Mountain a listen

[@ofthenearfuture]

I was 11 when this song came out and honestly it's still probably my favourite SOAD song. Their early videos are pretty wild though haha, but since the beginning their videos have also always had often profound imagery and symbolism that reinforces the meanings behind the lyrics... and I think you nailed the analysis on this one!

[@Emilie-one]

Serg has such an incredible voice and theatrics oh! Wow! Glad you checked this out

[@ryanbizahaloni9839]

My favorite SOAD song.

[@JMulvy]

I dunno how, but Taylor keeps nailing the meanings behind the songs of a band like SYSTEM, when everyone else who reacts to them just gets so confused. Also I really liked your therpist-take on it. I love it! Keep it up!

[@micah4973]

I won't blame people for being confused the first time they hear SOAD's lyrics lol.

[@JMulvy]

@@micah4973 Well I'm not blaming or shaming anyone but some of the interpretations people come up with confuse me. That being said, I am aware that music is an art form and like all art it is subject to the interpretation of the person experiencing it, but there can in fact be wrong answers depending on the message intended.

[@OliOmen]

Plus you hit the nail right on the head, this was 1998 I think, and it was when V-chips were out into TVs

[@epicmage82]

This was my first System of a Down song, and it got me hooked on the band. ❤️

[@OliOmen]

I'm glad you finally heard it!!❤

[@DarkWingD602]

Imagine being 11 when this came out. Watching this while eating breakfast and have to walk to school. I had so many questions and thoughts it was crazy. 3:50

[@samanweiler2699]

Ur vids are amazing keep up the good work 😊🎉

[@WhatIAmPlaying]

One of my favorite vocal performances! I love Serj

[@Camroc37]

SOAD is just a perfect band. Definitely my comfort metal band, I could put them on at any time and feel good.

[@patrickvdS]

Wow, when i was a teenager i'd set this song on repeat on my discman when i couldnt sleep. Havent heard this song for almost 20 years or so, i forgot about it. So weird how music brings back everything from that period of time now ive just heard is again. I hope I can sleep tonight because i havent got a discman anymore;)

[@canonthomasen3219]

Absolute love your reaction! Masterpiece 💯

[@chetnolan7496]

I love your channel and I'm so glad I subscribed, keep rocking.... love your reactions and facial expressions ! 👏🤘❤️

[@j1m80slice8]

You are just awesome!! Keep rocking on! 😎

[@nayeliavila4574]

This song is a masterpiece in every sense! 👏😭

[@StevenPD]

Lyrics can be much like poetry in that they lead one to question. "There is no spoon. [...] it is not the spoon that bends; it is only yourself."

[@ArkaeaFCL3]

Matrix reference? Nice.

[@ich1magik]

Finding this comment just when i thought about it. Nothing else to say.

[@Sigma1_969]

What an absolutely brilliant analysis... The video gives me so many different feelings ... Crescent City, haha, yep, I got that.

[@scottmackie8900]

I absolutely love this song it still gives me chills all over the memories of this song it’s absolutely one of my favourite songs from system of a down 💯

[@Paul_ValiantPatriot]

SOAD knows how to make you think with their lyrics and my favourite one where people get the meaning wrong is *BYOB* Great reaction and thank you for replying back to the comment on NF *Nate* song 🖤🤘

[@Chilipotamus]

So many people disregard the lyrics of music like this because its delivered in a nonsensical and joking manner, but I am so glad channels like yours are rife to plumb the depths of Serjs prose. Just a fantastic react tbh

[@ViniciusLima-uh1yr]

Parabéns pelo conteúdo maravilhoso, obrigado! A música é o meu melhor medicamento para ansiedade! Congratulations on the wonderful content, thank you! Music is my best medicine for anxiety! ❤🇧🇷❤

[@bobbysayer5801]

This outfit is almost on par with the beauty of the song, the nails matching the fit, the chains matching the hair

[@alleyeditor]

The V Chip was a parental control device for TV's back in the 90's

[@Raynecolwell]

I really enjoy your insight.

[@joshuamasserant8215]

Some dude in high school somehow had a demo of this epic debut a year before it came out. Been a fan since 1997. Seen them tour the album at Ozzfest 1999. Most people like Toxicity more it might be better overall but this is so raw. The longest song called 'Mind' is 6:16. It is probably my favorite System Of A Down song. I bet it's never been reacted to.

[@Vicariousleighilive..]

I hate spiders too god has some type of humour landing me in Australia but I love it I can’t leave 🤘

[@trecemundos]

What we love define us, but also what we fear... Do we need to fear? I don't know, but don't forget to love

[@logik1677]

You absolutely PERFECTLY Nailed it! ❤

[@ThePurityControl]

I never took this song / video too literally before but now that I think about it - it does have some serious MKUltra vibes.

[@trecemundos]

I Love your work

[@jorgeundurraga2613]

Great song..... you're very smart....pointing very interesting things...

[@aurorafox1283]

Hi! I recently discovered this channel and i love those reactions! Im curious, would be there possible reactions to instrumental tracks? If so i reccomend this band If These Trees Could Talk, my favourite album is "Above the Earth, Below the Sky" There are pieces that definitely wake up some feelings in me and even help me write stuff im working on from time to time

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

You're more into heavy stuff but i suggest you cover Cage the Elephant "shake me down", the message is pretty clear there, but it is powerful

[@gegart01]

Yes! Great song. Revenga please!

[@alainlyrette5208]

Love this song

[@MoCsomeone]

You should do the band Gojira Check out the songs: The Art of Dying, Esoteric Surgery, Oroborus, Global Warming, from Mars to Sirius And if you want to delve into some underground hip hop check out the artist Eyedea Songs: Here for You, Even Shadows Have Shadows Birth of a Fish Powdered Water part 1&2 Message in a Bottle (you will cry at this song, it's very very very sad)

[@andrewneehall5664]

Yes!!! Anything by Gojira would be amazing! Their newer stuff is great too, anything off of Magma and Fortitude is really emotional and feels almost spiritual

[@martinmendoza8303]

second this!

[@Gabriel_Moline]

0:08. There is little reason to hate spiders! The only reason I can understand is their appearance. They do far more good for humans than harm!🌿🌸

[@ghilean1174]

Okay okay, I'm subscribed...

[@derekowens8799]

SOLDIER SIDE!! If you want a song that will never lose relevance through the coarse of humanities existence on this planet, that is it.

[@ninjamonkey4]

one of my favorite spider adjacent songs is The Magic Spider by Necrogoblicon

[@matheusungaretti6792]

I watched all your System of a Down reactions! Your channel is amazing! I would like to suggest "Radiohead - Creep (Best live performance)". This performance of Tom Yorke is amazing, and the video could be great content for your channel.

[@Reaper21669]

It's a good one 👌

[@volkdude8543]

I really want you to Make a video about "Lorn" Anvil, Acid Rain, Ghosts,,, Any of those songs. The Videos surrealism is a trip.

[@rockeye1268]

The V chip was something from the 90's if I remember correctly that censored TV, analog TV, in real time. It was supposed to take out bad language and keep TV PG for kids. It never happened to my knowledge. I was in my youth so I never saw it but I remember it being a big deal that never seemed to happen.

[@axanthius]

recomendation for a reaction to.. Highly Suspect "Lydia". its a great song, singers vocals are amazing and the video is very anxiety inducing something that it think would be interesting for a psychiatrist to react to.

[@Brosati68]

SOAD doesn’t miss.. They can do whatever and it works

[@thomasmunns5766]

You should check out "Cocorosie - werewolf" or "lemonade" or anything from them

[@TiaraIntan36]

System of a down soldier side ❤

[@Karl-ml5wc]

Your quick!

[@necromora666]

You should give Heilung a try. Their music is highly spiritual but also highly psychological

[@_LagaKuula_]

For some reason this peace of art reminded me of another song.. Gojira - Love.. After this I am going to watch that masterpiece couple of times... Maybe Taylor you should too also check that...

[@Edperez90]

Really hope you react to other soad songs apart to their singles. Soil, Forest, science are my suggestions

[@fsckroot3913]

Don't look up! (at night)

[@oldeskul]

It often helps to react to either the album version or the live version of a song as very rarely does the music video have very little to do with the song itself as it's often the artistic view of the director. More good SOAD songs: Deer Dance, Needles, I-E-A-I-A-I-O, Mezmerise

[@andyraygoza3165]

I stumbled upon your channel by accident and i love the purpose behind it. Please check out the band Periphery. I recommend Lune, It’s Only Smiles, or Dying Star.

[@emperorriehl3537]

I haven't heard that song spiders by system of a down in ages! 🕷🎸🕷

[@eEternalMoose]

@heartsupport, so a song i feel you need to check out is Aftermath by The Ghost Inside. I struggled for years after my father passed away and after hearing that song it really did help me accept how to move on with my life.

[@jamesmatthew1903]

Wow a reactor with truly insightful commentary? I didn't know that was a thing.

[@jameslannon9788]

the whole mezmerize album. give it a go....

[@xXAlmostEvilXx]

Please react to Adestia - More Than You Know. They are a metal band, but that song will bring tears to anyones eyes

[@simpsonlas]

Music Request Band> Badflower Song> jester I dont think you'll be disappointed

[@tylerkraft199]

Hi, new sub. Looks like you’re doing heavier stuff. Here’s a weird kind of raw song to check out, she’s a real battleaxe by vanna.

[@djmoonchild01]

Great analysis, Check out the System song called "Friik" to be tripped out like this some more🙌

[@fullyilluminated]

Her reactions look like exactly like my Mom's when i showed her SOAD In '04 😂😂😂😂

[@robertogeissini9337]

You need to hear the Song "Rumi"!

[@musclehead25]

subscribed for the song choice

[@Z_TPI]

Sharks and Danger by Alexisonfire No video, but i highly recommend checking out the song meaning first and pulling up the lyrics while listening. This song is right up your alley to talk about, and to give shit to those who act like theyre there to help, but in reality dont care at all...

[@Art-By-Aly]

Yes , you got it !

[@floorsweepings666]

i was lucky enough to be around before this was big

[@stealiingsociiety]

I wish my therapist were her omg

[@ereal713]

No more tears to cry by Bullet for my Valentine Hell I'll even take: Shatter by Bullet for my Valentine

[@JBW27]

I think you'd quite enjoy reacting to Psycho by SOAD. Interesting lyrics and would make for an interesting post reaction conversation.

[@Teeklin]

Can we talk about how wild it is that you haven't done any Soundgarden yet?

[@adamgent3548]

We need solitude by candlemass already!!!

[@pablosepulveda8722]

Do routine it's a outstanding song Steven Wilson is awesome

[@EdWolfram]

Fine I subscribed

[@M3RKUR14L]

@heartsupport Love the vid. Question, if you won't mind clarifying for my mind... When I listen to this song like many others, I'm often suddenly brought to let's say "emotional duress" when I see other people feel something "real/serious" or go through something emotional if that makes sense. Almost a dire need to embrace or care for them, to the point of tears then I need to push that aside. It's too heavy. This normal...?

[@igoriksanov9539]

This is just a guess, but I think this song is about TV or the internet and data. Using "her" to reference that technology. He mentions a V chip, which is what's used to monitor what people are tuning into on TV.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Yes, this song is about tech companies working with government agencies to manipulate what content people are exposed to. June is a girl that doesn't have thoughts or feelings of her own because she has been given a set of those things already. Almost like Rachel in Blade Runner... Walking around with someone else's brain in her head

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Serj Tankian was a software developer and computer science engineer for whatever that is worth

[@neilpatrickhairless]

It's no coincidence that IC chips look a lot like spiders

[@stevenchiri1548]

Idk if you have heard the song rise above this by seether but think you would enjoy the deeper meaning

[@86randylee]

love your reactions!

[@miguelkitesurfinginstructo1045]

I suggest you do an analysis of: Audioslave, Alice in Chains, Helmet (Hey man, nice shot) and if you want to dive into a bit of South American culture: Sepultura (Roots). Have a very nice day.

[@derekduchene2918]

I miss SOAD ❤

[@Kreuzritter50692]

Für dich auch ein ❤

[@randomguy-z2l]

Day 6 dream theater- Panic attack, As I am, under a glass moon. 6 degrees of inner turbulence, nightmare to remember. - any of these would be good

[@lookarabbit2888]

Old soad is best soad.

[@stijnp8675]

Imo, the video itself makes it clear this song is about waking up from conditioning. You could argue that the old woman is symbolic for generational conditioning.

[@jessicacuster8767]

You are good
