Genesis P-Orridge

Genesis P-Orridge would be a legend several times over for his role in the art-rock bands Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV, but he's no less notable now for his current status as a rare transgender—in his word "pandrogynous"—star. Throbbing Gristle's noisy grind and slurry polemics laid the foundation for industrial music in the late ’70s, and Psychic TV shadowed TG before moving into comparatively light, propulsive electronics that hewed closer to pop and dance music.
