How is Joy Division so popular despite using Nazi imagery?

because they're not nazis, quite the opposite actually

different time and context

>>70578804
they just wanted to seem edgy to gain notoriety

because nazis are cool

Because the music business is corrupt and full of satanic and Nazi imagery.
All aboard the Illuminati train.

Let's be honest here, though. Ian totally was.

What makes you think that?

This. Joy Division was around at a time when the music scene was dominated by people who had grown up in the shadow of WWII, and had been affected by its imagery their whole lives. Using Nazi imagery was basically catharsis for a lot of bands at the time. It didn't have anything to do with Nazi sympathy, and everyone understood that. Joy Division were pretty tame about it compared to some others, too.

I think nsbm bands should do more joy division and new order covers

looking at you, der stürmer

Someone once told me Rammstein were Nazis. I told him they actually inverted totalitarian imagery, inspired by an anarchist industrial band called Laibach. He told me anarchism is just as evil, stupid, violent, and oppressive as Nazism. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Well, Debra didn't really like Ian considering he was cheating on her and they were getting divorced by the time of his death. Doubt she'd care enough to do so though.
