This article is about the term. For other uses, see Fun (disambiguation).
Surfing is viewed by many as a fun experience.

Fun is the enjoyment of pleasure and, according to Johan Huizinga, "an absolutely primary category of life, familiar to everybody at a glance right down to the animal level."[1] Fun may be encountered in many human activities during work, social functions, recreation and play, and even seemingly mundane activities of daily living. Fun may often have little to no logical basis, and opinions on whether or not an activity is fun may differ. The distinction between enjoyment and fun is difficult to articulate but real,[2] fun being a more spontaneous, playful, or active event. The perception of time is shortened when one is "having fun".[3]

Etymology [link]

The original meaning of "fun" relates to a hoax or practical joke,[4] a meaning still retained in the phrase "to poke fun at".

Fun?

Fun? is the second album from the British rock band The Candyskins. It contains their hit single "Wembley". It is the band's last release on a major label, being dropped by Geffen following two years of inactivity after its release. The disagreement with the label led to the arrest of Nick and Mark Cope, the band's lead singer and rhythm guitarist, for spray painting 'No Fun' on the wall of their former employer.

Track list

All songs written and composed by Nick Burton and Nick Cope, except where noted. 

Personnel

  • Nick Cope – vocals
  • Mark Cope – guitar
  • Nick Burton – lead guitar
  • Karl Shale – bass
  • John Halliday - drums

    • Reception

    Dave Thompson wrote in his book Alternative Rock that the band with this release "emphasize the rock'n'pop with bigger sound, riddled with soaring leads, rougher riffs, [and] some genuinely meaty power chords". Tom Demalon of Allmusic says the "lyrics, mainly dealing with failed relationships, contrast the sweetness and lightweight feel of the music" and that the tracks highlight "the band's musical diversity".John M. Borack writes in Shake Some Action that album is "[h]ugely entertaining and vastly underrated".
