2016–2020: 0% Fun era and live performances
Following a short hiatus and changes in their lineup, Fairy Bones joined Highly Suspect as support on several west coast tour dates in 2016. That same year, they put out the singles "8 Ball" and "Pink Plastic Cups". In 2017, they released the track "No One Can Suffer Like I Can".
Their independently launched debut studio album, 0% Fun, came out on February 23, 2018. In June 2019, the single "bullshit, ur a nice guy" premiered via Alternative Press, accompanied by a vertical format music video.
The group briefly ceased activity in 2020 but reformed in 2021 with a new lineup featuring Daphne Greene replacing guitarist Robert Ciuca.
In July 2023, Fairy Bones unveiled "Wish I Wasn't This Way," their first single with the updated lineup, which appeared on a vinyl compilation released through Hookworm Records.
