"Antipop" is a studio album by Primus, released on October 19, 1999, before their hiatus in 2000-2003. It is also the last album with drummer Brain. The title comes from an apparent dislike of disposable pop music.

The album is considered to be one of the band's heaviest, possibly due to being recorded around the time Primus was touring with nu metal bands such as Limp Bizkit and Korn, who themselves claim to be influenced by Primus. Fact|date=December 2007

The album features several well-known guest musicians and producers, including Tom Waits, James Hetfield of Metallica, Jim Martin of Faith No More, Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit and Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine.
