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.

Yo lo se, no es tan fácil
Señorita! no estás preparada,
no tienés el dinero
no estás sana para tenr un bebe
Honey, vos no querías abortar,
pero no tenías opción!
Te ciudaste, pero eso no funcionó
Mujercita vos no sos una mala mujer
por haber quedado embarazada
y haber pensado en abortar,
vos no sos la culpable vos no tenías opción!
Si tuvieran en cuenta nuestros reclamos
las cosas serían muy distinas
Lo sabías? Lo sabes?
Miel no llores... Pelea!
Anticonceptivos para no abortar,
aborto legal para no morir.
The lyrics of Fun People's song "Lady" are a social commentary on the issues surrounding abortion and reproductive rights in society. The lyrics are written from the perspective of a person comforting a woman who is going through an unwanted pregnancy and considering an abortion. The song acknowledges the challenges that come with making such a decision and highlights the systemic issues that contribute to the lack of accessible reproductive healthcare options.
The song speaks directly to the struggles faced by women who are denied access to abortion care due to financial constraints, lack of education, and limited healthcare resources. The lyrics suggest that the societal stigma surrounding abortion can make it difficult for women to seek help and can lead to feelings of shame and guilt. The line "Mujercita vos no sos una mala mujer" translates to "Little woman, you're not a bad woman," emphasizing the importance of destigmatizing the issue.
The song also advocates for greater access to contraception as a means of preventing unwanted pregnancies and ultimately reducing the need for abortion. The line "Anticonceptivos para no abortar, aborto legal para no morir" translates to "Contraceptives to avoid abortion, legal abortion to avoid death," making a plea for reproductive freedom and the right to choose.
Overall, the song "Lady" by Fun People is a powerful call to action for greater reproductive rights and access to healthcare for all individuals.

Yo ya tengo 39 años y me acuerdo cuando escuchaba fun people y sus ideas de aborto legal y el tema de la violencia de género y no puedo creer que hayan tenido que pasar 20 años para que sea u tema en boca de todos y no solo unos pocos locos que escuchábamos este tipo de bandas

Ojalas haya mas gente que piense igual, man. Yo por mi parte estoy mas a favor que en contra, pero si, es un tema muy dificil de tocar y siempre va a haber debate importante. Yo creo que lo mas importante es adaptarse al hecho de que los tiempos cambian y que nosotros los humanos, tambien... La Tolerancia, es lo mas importante para vivir en sociedad, en mi opinión...
