'''Voidpunk''' is a subculture for those who often feel rejected or disconnected from humanity. This is popular within [[Aromantic Spectrum|aromantic spectrum]] and [[Asexual Spectrum|asexual spectrum]] communities but also includes groups such as neurodivergent people, disabled people, [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] people and other groups that are frequently dehumanized or called 'subhuman' by society. Voidpunk is based on embracing the idea of being 'not human'. While many of these marginalized groups seek to prove their humanity to their oppressors, voidpunk aims to, instead of claiming humanity, instead, recognizes that these oppressors are bigoted and taunts them by saying "Maybe I am not human by society's standards. What about it?" |

Voidpunk have no one aesthetic or style but often includes relating to, or comparing oneself to non-human creatures such as aliens, robots, ghosts, or other monsters. Many people participating in voidpunk culture make 'voidsonas'- an non-human original character that typically is a persona for the creator, often being a metaphor for the creator's own experiences with systemic dehumanization. |
