Voidpunk in Media
In this new magazine echoing the original subreddit I wanted to make a list of works that had voidpunk vibes/themes. Hopefully this will make things more understandable~...
GavinFox, An excerpt from an old published article of mine on the topic of #VoidPunk, a subcultural identity that very much reflects my own ideas about the world...
"An online aesthetic typified by a loss of self, it is an active rejection of humanity that counters cultural marginalization through embracing dehumanization, while also playing fast and loose with the definition of reality along the way.
Those who choose to fly the green and purple flag identify as unique entities of various types, united by an almost obsessional desire to live apart from a wider population who refuse to understand them.
A form of postmodern apanthropy, or the pathological distaste for the companionship of other people, there is a small subculture developing for these self identified alterhumans. Cliques and species specific clans are emerging, and while some will no doubt abandon the movement once they become more socially confident, I for one find it to be a comfortable home."
The more you know, eh?
