Dysphoric Void is a queer alternative band based in Meadville, PA. The band originally started off as Nash’s music project for lacerated lullabies (aka Mutants to freaks) but due to constant hostility from other bands and promoters from the local music scene, those projects eventually disbanded. In May 2025, Nash (he/him) and Sparkles (they/them), created Dysphoric Void and started to focus on building a community online, and focusing on other areas for shows/events. Their music blends emo, post-hardcore, and pop influences, with lyrics rooted in personal experience—grief, identity, mental health, survival, and political activism. They create space for outcasts, queer people, and anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t belong.
