They sing in English and Spanish, often mixing both languages in a single song or even line. Human and animal rights are frequent subjects in their lyrics. The band mixes punk music with other genres such as reggae, pop, tango, thrash metal and others.
As the band became well known, skinheads who enjoyed the band's aggressive music in a violent way started to show up at concerts, prompting singer Nekro to call the band's genre Antifascist gay hardcore in an attempt to get rid of those fans. For this reason Fun People is sometimes confused as queercore.
Early on, the band was called Anesthesia (as a tribute to Cliff Burton). When the band was about to release their first album, planned to be self-titled, they found out someone else had already copyrighted Anesthesia as a band name. Fun People, the name of a fanzine Nekro made and sold at the band's concerts, was chosen as the band's new name and Anesthesia remained as the album's title.

Fun People Lyrics

tan bajo nuevamente

tan lejano
debes volver
The lyrics of "Animo" by Fun People are a motivational call to rise up from a setback or a low point. The singer is telling someone that they cannot fall so low again, and that they are stuck or trapped far away from where they need to be. The phrase "no puedes caer tan bajo nuevamente" literally means "you cannot fall so low again" and implies that the person has been through a difficult time before. However, the singer encourages them to return to a better place by saying "debemos volver" or "we must return". The phrase "estás atrapado tan lejano" means "you are trapped so far away" and may refer to a physical or emotional distance from where the person wants to be.
The song's lyrics are simple but impactful, and could apply to a range of situations, from personal struggles to political or social issues. The use of the word "animo" in the title is significant, as it is a Spanish word meaning "courage" or "spirit". By using this word, the band is emphasizing that the message of the song is one of encouragement and support. The upbeat and energetic tone of the song also adds to this sense of motivation, with the driving guitar and drums urging the listener to keep going and not give up.
