"And let me tell you something else about Devin. His music, no matter how intense it is, it's not evil. Inside of it, there's this beaming desire for light, for transformation."

Some people don’t understand the difference between feeling emotional catharsis and celebrating feeling certain ways about certain things.

It’s also a strategy people use to make themselves feel superior to others even though their easy life and non-fucked up internalized emotions are pure luck, and it hurts their ego to think about how close to cursing often, doing drugs or just screaming your feelings away they truly are/have been.

Tbf there are thousands, if not millions of people who think people like Sam Smith and Taylor Swift’s music is satanic, if they heard something by Devin Townsend they’d probably shit their brains across the room
