Genesis Breyer P-Orridge is seeing the future in the past. Earlier this month, the Throbbing Gristle musician, poet, and performance/visual artist spoke with Pitchfork writer Jes Skolnik. P-Orridge was, as usual, a font of opinions, with no shortage of scathing remarks on the resurgence of Thatcherist fear politics, experiences with transphobia, and even the annoying proclivities of one popular rapper du jour. However, P-Orridge also shared many beatific insights on the nature of creative collaboration, the purpose of industrial rock as “an electric newspaper,” and how we all can go “the way of the spirit and the soul.”
