Voidpunk is a subculture for those who feel rejected by or disconnected from humanity. This is popular within aromantic spectrum and asexual spectrum communities but also includes groups such as neurodivergent people, disabled people, non-binary people and other groups that are frequently dehumanized & 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, voidpunks recognize that these oppressors are bigoted and taunt them by saying, "Maybe I'm not human by society's standards. What about it?"

Voidpunk has no single 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'- non-human original characters that typically are a persona for the creator, often being a metaphor for the creator's own experiences with systemic dehumanization.

History

The concept of voidpunk was created by Tumblr user Arotaro on February 18, 2018, but the name was came from the user Milkchocolateowl^[1]. Voidpunk was officially defined on September 2, 2018^[2].
