The Original Riot Grrl

Punk Trailblazer Poly Styrene of X-Ray Spex Dies at 53

Poly Styrene, punk icon and leading lady of the 70’s British punk band X-Ray Spex, died Tuesday at age 53 from an advanced form of breast cancer. Styrene, born Marian Joan Elliott-Said, rose to stardom when X-Ray Spex released their debut single “Oh Bondage Up Yours!” in 1977. Styrene’s raging yells and shrieks in that liberating anthem put her on the punk map and set the stage for “riot grrls” Kathleen Hanna and Corin Tucker of the 90’s. Styrene’s debut was a defining moment for women in punk rock.
