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

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...
no more ride on ride on ride on.
The lyrics of Fun People's song "Trash" seem to depict a struggle with societal expectations and the desire to live a life true to oneself. The first line, "La maza es como un corazones ciegos," translates to "The mace is like blind hearts." This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the crushing force of societal pressures, which can be just as harmful as blindness. The next line, "Sonries, pero no pueden ser feliz," translates to "You smile, but you cannot be happy." This suggests that putting on a facade of happiness in order to conform to societal expectations ultimately leads to dissatisfaction and unhappiness.
The next two lines, "Frivolizaron mis sueños de niño/ y ahora trato de vivir mi infancia feliz," translate to "They made fun of my childhood dreams/ and now I try to live my childhood happily." This speaks to the idea that society often disregards the dreams and aspirations of children, leading them to conform to more practical or realistic expectations as they grow older. The following lines, "Desde que descubri your values/ que me despiste del camino y pinchare mis ruedas.../ para no seguir on the road.../ no more ride on ride on ride on," seem to suggest that the singer has come to realize the importance of living a life true to oneself, even if it means going against societal norms. They have deliberately "pinched their wheels" in order to prevent themselves from continuing down a path that is not aligned with their values.
Overall, "Trash" seems to be a reflection on the difficulty of navigating societal norms and staying true to oneself, with the singer ultimately asserting their desire to live authentically.
