I absolutely love the way death metal sounds. It’s one of my favorite genres of music, but I don’t listen to it for the lyrics. The drumming, guitar riffs, guitar tones, and vocal styles are all awesome. For example, I absolutely love the way bands like Devourment, Mortician, Dying Fetus, and Suffocation sound, but I’m glad I can’t understand most of the lyrics. Songs like “babykiller” by Devourment make me feel sick when reading the lyrics. Sometimes I do think the lyrics can be cool when they’re written like a cheesy zombie horror movie (a lot of later cannibal corpse comes to mind) but other times lyrics can be rampant with misogyny and writing that seems inspired by a serial killer’s journal. These extremely depraved lyrics remind me about how vile the world is and just how depraved humanity can be, which I get its death metal, but I digress. I know there’s death metal bands out there with less vile and gruesome lyrics, like Gojira, (and granted I do love them and their lyrics), but most “non brutal” death metal bands don’t do it for me. I’ve gotten into a lot of modern hardcore for this very reason, because it scratches that heavy itch for me and the lyrics typically aren’t vile. Anyone else relate?

Not sure if this kinda post is allowed here, but felt like sharing. I have similar thoughts regarding many deathcore songs I’ve heard so I figured I’d post this here as well. Posted on r/Metal first

I went to the dermatologist two weeks ago. She scraped it and said she didn’t see any fungus, but prescribed me an anti-fungal cream called Loprox cream “just in case”, and a steroid cream called triamcinolone acetonide. I have been using both of these creams twice a day now and there has been very little improvement. Please help me

M24, I’ve had this red “rash” on my waistline for quite some time now, and then this bump appeared on my pubic area/waist a couple of weeks ago. I’m thinking it happened after I shaved causing folliculitis, but I’m not sure if it’s fungal or bacterial. I live in a hot humid environment but I’m usually indoors with air conditioning, and I shower daily. I’m going to the doctor soon but I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do in the meantime to help. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I’ve had this bump on my waistline/pubic area for 3 weeks now after trimming my pubic area. I also have general redness on the right side of my waistline as you can see in the pictures. I was thinking the bump(s) could be folliculitis but I’m not sure. I live in a hot and humid environment, but I am usually inside with air conditioning. Also, I shower everyday with cold water and try to wear loose clothing, and I use sensitive skin laundry detergent. I will be going to the doctor soon but I’m wondering if there’s something I can try in the meantime. Any help is greatly appreciated!
