In the same interview, Daron Malakian talked about "Violent Pornography"'s "non-stop disco" lines: When I put it on, I said: 'This album is extremely special to me.'" I was listening to that album in my car with my girlfriend a few months back. Kiss started the metal attitude, metal theatrics and metal fashion - they contributed to that a lot. I remember being so afraid of Kiss, and it just stuck. They were older teenagers and had Kiss all over the walls in their bedrooms. I would listen to that record all the time. "My neighbors were Danny and Lisa, who I sing about in "Radio/Video" with System - they had that record and it ended up at my apartment.

Malakian commented on the song to Revolver magazine: In "Radio/Video", there are lines referring to two people named Danny and Lisa. The song mentions Tony Danza and Frankie Avalon, who also played in the game. Malakian wrote "Old School Hollywood" after playing in a celebrity baseball game for charity. According to Tankian, this was because of differences in creative input and financial revenue split. In 2018, Malakian and Tankian both independently revealed that at the time of recording the two albums, Tankian was almost out of the band. The album features guitarist Daron Malakian sharing most of the vocal work with vocalist Serj Tankian, splitting the vocals at least halfway on many of the tracks. ©2002, 2018 & ℗2002 Columbia Records.Despite the time difference between releases, Mezmerize and Hypnotize were recorded within the same time frame.
