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.
Ride On
Fun People Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sonries, pero no pueden ser feliz
Frivolizaron mis sueños de niño,
y ahora trato de vivir mi infancia feliz
Desde que descubri your values,
que me despiste del camino y
pinchare mis ruedas...
para no seguir on the road...
The lyrics to "Ride On" by Fun People describe a person's struggle to align their values with their actions. The metaphor of a blind heart being similar to a hammer is used to illustrate the idea that one can smile but not truly be happy if they don't live in line with their beliefs. The singer alludes to having had their childhood dreams trivialized, likely by societal pressures to conform to norms and expectations that may not align with their core values. The singer then explains that they have been distracted from their path since discovering their values and that they have chosen to sabotage themselves in order to avoid continuing down a path that doesn't feel honest or authentic.
The song's lyrics are ultimately about the tension between conforming to social norms and living in line with one's individual beliefs and values. The singer recognizes that this can be a difficult path but seems committed to living a life that feels authentic, even if that means going against the grain at times. The lyrics are introspective and thought-provoking, encouraging listeners to consider their own values and whether they are truly living in line with them.
