Common lyrical themes include misogyny, homophobia, anti-Semitism, racism, ridicule of the unfortunate, and insults directed towards other bands (examples: "Limp Bizkit Think They're Black, But They're Just Gay" and "Anyone Who Likes The Dillinger Escape Plan Is a Faggot"). Some examples of their controversial song titles are "Hitler Was A Sensitive Man", "I Hope You Get Deported", and "Your Kid Committed Suicide Because You Suck" (the original title was "Conor Clapton Committed Suicide Because His Father Sucks"; it was changed because Earache records were afraid that the label might have been sued in response to this song). One recurring song title is "X is gay", with X being a person, place, thing, idea or event. Some well-known examples are: "Technology Is Gay", "The Internet Is Gay", "Windchimes are Gay", and "The Word 'Homophobic' Is Gay".
The sound of a typical Anal Cunt song is that of loud, extremely distorted guitars playing very simple riffs (often using only open strings), blast beat drumming, and loud (often unintelligible) screaming.
Anal Cunt was founded in 1988 in Massachusetts by Seth Putnam. He chose the name by making a list of obscene words, and then trying to find what he believed to be the most stupid, offensive combination of them--Anal Cunt. The band was meant as a joke, and was to only release one album and do one show; however, the band went strong for more than 20 years before Seth Putnam's death.
Anal Cunt's take on making song titles a joke in themselves may have influenced many other hardcore and grindcore bands who attempt to get laughs from humorous, but often cryptic, titles.
Since 1997, Anal Cunt has also become known for its acoustic black metal side-project Impaled Northern Moonforest, another joke band.
In 2000, they released Split With The Raunchous Brothers. The tracks on the album are: "I'm Hitler", "The Guy Who Shot His Kid Up With AIDS is Awesome", and "I Went Back In Time, And Voted For Hitler".
Additionally, infamous punk rocker GG Allin has a song titled "Anal Cunt", but there is no relation between them, although according to Putnam, Allin requested Anal Cunt to be his backup band on one particular tour. This never happened, most likely owing to Allin's death.
In October 2004, Seth Putnam overdosed on "a combination of heroin, crack, alcohol, and two months worth of Ambien sleeping pills done all at once." As a result, he was comatose for several days and sustained severe nerve damage, needing months of physical therapy to recover. According to Putnam, doctors had intended to "pull the plug", fearing he'd spend the rest of his days as a vegetable. Some observers considered this poetic justice, given such Anal Cunt song titles as "Jack Kevorkian Is Cool" and "You're in a Coma". Surprisingly enough, in the same news post he confirmed that there will be a new Anal Cunt album.
Seth Putnam died of a heart attack on June 11th, 2011.

The lyrics to Anal Cunt's song "You're a Fucking Cunt" are brutal and direct, leaving no room for interpretation. In the first verse, the lead singer Seth Putnam insults the person's band and calls them annoying. He then insults the person's boyfriend and calls them a cunt. It's clear the singer has no respect for this person and does not hold back in expressing his opinions.
In the second verse, the singer accuses the person of being self-important and forcing their beliefs onto others. He also insults their writing skills and wishes for their death. The song is meant to be shocking and offensive, and it succeeds in being just that.
Interestingly, the song was released in 1994 on the album "Top 40 Hits," which was a compilation of 40 short songs. Most of the songs were around 30 seconds long, and "You're a Fucking Cunt" was one of the longest songs on the album, clocking in at just over 1 minute.
