X RAY SPEX: Germfree Adolescents
If punk needed a fluorescent highlighter, Germfree Adolescents was it.
Poly Styrene’s voice is part battle cry, part consumer culture exorcism, and entirely unforgettable. The saxophone alone qualifies it as rebellion with accessories.
It’s sharp, funny, and still depressingly relevant. Every line about identity, plastic, and branding aged better than most of the adverts it skewered.
