Fuck the Kids is a 7" EP by NOFX. All the tracks were recorded in one day over the course of about four hours. Fat Mike had written all the songs, but none of the other band members knew them. Mike would teach the band the song, they would record it, keeping the first take where the band actually managed to make it through the whole song, and then move on. Mike refers to it as "sloppiness in pure form. You can't fake that kind of sloppiness."^[1]

The EP was later included on the second disc of 45 or 46 Songs That Weren't Good Enough to Go on Our Other Records, but with one track omitted ("Stupid Canadians") in order to preserve the uniqueness of the original 7" release.^[2]

The first 500 copies were pressed on clear-green vinyl, while all others appeared on black vinyl. It has sold a total of 35,000 copies.

The seven inch artwork is the same as Propagandhi's seven inch "How to Clean a Couple o' Things" (which had been built on top of the artwork for "The P.M.R.C. Can Suck on This!") but includes the NOFX logo and a puppet.
