Devoid Edit Meaning

1.

The empty vacuum of space which now exists where the 20th century electro-pop/punk band Devo was. The DEVOID was created (established) in the mid 1990's when Devo quit jamming. Even yet, the DEVO Fan Club motors on (or rather it's still rollin') in homage to the Akron, oHIo-based quintet.

"The modern music industry is completely DEVOID of the unique niche which Devo filled in the '70's and '80's (and kinda in the '90's)."

See devo, devout, devolved
