Lolita Storm was a digital hardcoreband from the UK consisting of Nhung Napalm, Romy Medina, Jimmy Too-Bad, and Spex.[1]
Its main characteristics are chanted punk lyrics about sex, celebrity hatred, drugs, and feminism.[2] All are presented in a comical rather than deeply political form, backdrops of generally highly aggressive breakbeat. In their own words:[3]
The whole point of Lolita Storm is that we’re a backlash against everything you know, style, music. Everything is boring and we decided that it’s about time that someone did something different and encouraged other people to do something different—to do their own thing.
