Whenever I talk to anyone from the CVLT page or REALLY hardcore fans just anywhere I don't identify with them at all with anything or I get the deal of "you're not a real fan for this reason or another" and it crushes my heart. Like I've literally listened to the Acoustic EP every single day since it came out and PVRIS really has had a profound impact for me. Despite explaining that I still don't fit in... =(

that suuuucks i promise not everyone’s like that!! i promise i’m not anyway, you don’t need to justify yourself or your love for them to anyone dont worry x

I don’t know much about what’s going on in fan groups and all that nonsense but… honestly, if you’re one of those people telling someone who enjoys our music that they’re not a real fan and excluding them from feeling like they can listen to us, stop listening to us and go reevaluate your life. (I remember when I was 10 and thought liking an artist was a competition.)

You don’t need to fit in. You don’t need to dress a certain way. You don’t need to fit a criteria or know facts or any other stupid obsessive and invasive bullshit that certain insane people think makes them “true fans”. If you listen to our music and it makes you feel something incredible in yourself and makes you feel something deep in your soul, that’s all that matters. That’s all we care about and that’s far more important than any other juvenile crap that certain delirious humans think is necessary to make someone a “true fan”. The most incredible thing about music is that it connects people and brings people together. We hope in whatever we do, we can help contribute to that. When we play shows and put music out we hope we can create an environment where diverse and open minded people with different backgrounds, ages and mindsets can all unite. That’s the beauty of music, it does that.

Don’t be the asshole that prevents that and makes people feel unwelcome, that’s not what our band is about and if there did happen to be a criteria for “true fans” of our band, that is certainly not what they’d be about either.
