Views
Tankian is passionate about human rights, recognition of genocides, social justice, and facial hair.

These traits have helped to shape his lyrical style in which he writes music. Remember "B.Y.O.B."? It's about the Iraq War. I thought it was about pandas and blowing up sunshine He also covers many important current issues in his music, like Justin Bieber being a faggot and people eating Chop Suey.
