People = Shit

I read on another site what slipknot's member Shawn crahan said the meaning of this song was. He said the meaning is "people are like an incurable disease that is destroying or world" or something similar to that.

IF U HAVE A FUCKING PROBLEM WITH IT THEN GO THE FUCK AWAY! ITS SIMPLE U ARE ALL JUST JELOUS BECAUSE HES FAMOUS AND U ARNT!
STOP TALKING OUT OF UR ASS AND GO HOME! ~heather~

I'm not sure if other people have said this.

But I think this song is about how people don't care about anybody else but themselves anymore. They won't even do something as simple as letting someone into to traffic because they have to get to where they need to go and that's the only thing that matters.

And also I'm sick and tired of everybody thinking I'm fucked up because I say People = Shit.

Pure misanthropy. That basically sums up this song :)

i agree with u classicalman114, people r fuckin greedy pricks and society will end up destroying itself, people r so fuckin corrupt, all they care about is money and power.....

i think the song is about takin no shit and giving the world hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Misanthropy is a generalized dislike, distrust, disgust, contempt and hatred of the human species, human nature, or society. A misanthrope is someone who holds those views and feelings. The word's origin is from Greek words μῖσος (misos, "hatred") and ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos, "man, human being")." In other words 'PEOPLE=SHIT' This song is all about misanthropy. In my opinion this is the misanthropic anthem and being a misanthrope I should know. The title of this song reminds me of Tyler Durten referring to his people as 'made up of the same decaying organic matter as the rest of the world.' An individual or group of individuals can be intelligent, insightful and contribute something worthwile to society however when you witness the idiocy, ignorance, intolerance and blind conformoty of a herd mentality, particularly a mob mentality, you realise what people as a whole really are. Fuck all of you(love)
