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.
Question
Fun People Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of "Question" by Fun People, a punk rock band from Argentina, criticize the excuses that we use to justify our actions and the consequences of our choices. In the first line, the singer cannot believe that someone needs excuses, suggesting that honesty should prevail instead. The second line claims that history never waits for anyone, implying that we should take action and face our reality without hesitation.
The chorus repeats the phrase, "face it or resign it, that is the question," referencing Shakespeare's famous line, "to be or not to be, that is the question" from his play Hamlet. The band challenges us to confront our problems and take responsibility for our lives instead of avoiding them. The last line of the song, "I don't want to sleep with the last generation," can be interpreted as a rejection of conformity and a call to rebel against societal norms.
Overall, "Question" urges us to be honest with ourselves and to question the status quo, rather than unquestioningly following the crowd. It encourages us to take action and confront our problems head-on, without relying on excuses or complacency.
