==History==

===Early years (1997–2004)===
During the early 1990s, drummer Robb Rivera formed a band named Nonpoint Factor. The band released various demos and its lineup changed numerous times, with Rivera as the only constant member. By 1997, the band's name was shortened to simply "Nonpoint", and the lineup was restructured with Rivera on drums, Elias Soriano on vocals, Ken MacMillan on bass, and Andrew Goldman on guitar.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://heavensmetalmagazine.com/index.php/2018/05/01/nonpoint-factor-depression-94/ |title=Nonpoint Factor - Depression 94 |website=Heaven's Metal |date=May 1, 2018 |access-date=September 30, 2023}}</ref> The name Nonpoint came from a [[Believer (band)|Believer]] song named "Nonpoint". Soriano recalls: "I dug the name so I started using it around that time. It has no real meaning to us. It has something to do with pollution, but to us it just sounded cool."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Cohen|first1=Randy|title=Nonpoint Interview|url=http://rockpublication.com/nonpointinterview.htm|website=Rock Publication|access-date=October 27, 2015|date=March 1, 2001|archive-date=June 29, 2001|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010629210718/http://rockpublication.com/nonpointinterview.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> The band self-released their first independent album, ''Separate Yourself'', in late 1997.

The band considers Statement to be their first album (with the most obvious reference being the title of their 2018 album and the interviews around that time). If someone disagrees, please start a discussion on the talk page and, most importantly, provide sources.-->
