"Shitty Future" is a song by the Los Angeles-based punk rock band The Bronx, released as the second single from their 2006 album The Bronx.

The single was released on both compact disc and 7-inch vinyl, the latter pressed on black vinyl with a foil-stamped cover and limited to 1,500 copies.[1] The B-side track is a demo version of "Dirty Leaves", another song from the album. The cover artwork was designed by guitarist Joby J. Ford.
The music video for "Shitty Future" consists of a montage of live footage of the band performing the song in concert.[2][3]
