They legally changed their name by deed poll to Genesis P-Orridge on 5 January 1971. Throughout their career, they challenged social boundaries with their art and played a significant role in redefining music, becoming influential in the UK dance music sub-culture. Genesis P-Orridge courted controversy with images of piercings featured in the RE:Search book "Modern Primitives" and engaged in experimental video projects, which led to an eight-year exile from the UK.

In 2003, they changed their identity to Genesis/Djin Breyer P-Orridge. Genesis P-Orridge passed away on 14 March 2020 in New York City, USA, at the age of 70.
