Decreasing the damage debuff from songs is very much so a buff. A buff is anything anychanges that makes your class perform better, whether it's through a direct damage increase or removal/decrease of certain penalties.

To buff a debuff means boosting/increasing the 'negative' consequences of that debuff if want to get deeper into the semantics and logic of it. To boost the the positive without increasing the negative such buffs would have to be applied to a baseline and not a debuff. To buff is to increase or to enhance, when applied to a negative it increases that negativity. Which was my earlier point which I was trying to make.
