Genesis P-Orridge isn\u2019t easy to write about. An extremely prolific, variously pronoun-ed, transmedia artist and philosopher who, by design, changed course at will, projects expanding, contracting, abandoned when they got too popular. It\u2019s hard to boil down a life like Gen\u2019s, and I think that\u2019s what Gen would have wanted. To exit the \u2018cheap flesh suitcase\u2019 of the material world and leave as legacy an undefinable life that defies catch-phrase-worthy descriptions, maintaining, in life and death, what Gen called a \u201cstate of flux\u201d. \n\nIn 1976 though, Genesis P-Orridge was given a label that might stick. Conservative Member of Parliament Nicholas Fairbairn called Gen and the other members of their COUM Transmissions collective \u201cwreckers of civilisation.\u201d
