South African slam-death/deathcore titans Vulvodynia have once again found themselves in the middle of controversy — this time not for their ex-girlfriends accusations, fights with a drummer, blast beats, gutturals, or circle pits, but for their band name.
A self-described feminist party leader — known for her green hair, oversized sunglasses, and a passionate dislike for “problematic art” — has accused the group of harboring a “disturbing obsession with female intimate illnesses.”
“Every time I hear the word Vulvodynia, I feel like I’m being gaslit by medical terminology,” she told local reporters. “It’s 2025. Women deserve bands named after empowerment, not pelvic pain.”
When asked if she knew that Vulvodynia is an actual medical condition, the politician nodded solemnly and said, “Exactly. That’s the problem.”
The band has yet to issue an official statement, though fans have already flooded comment sections with textbook responses like “It’s brutal death metal, Karen” and “L + ratio + pelvic floor dysfunction.”
Meanwhile, the green-haired leader has promised to “bring this conversation to Parliament,” suggesting that “perhaps all band names should pass a sensitivity review before being allowed on Spotify.”
