Do people actually unironically like Joy Division?
Every song is the same suicidal shitfest, with dull instruments and vocals.
Am I being memed on?

Nice fake cover.
yes you're being memed on
this one album was constantly praised by critics and listeners alike since its release so people like you can listen to it and go "this wasn't that good"
sorry you had to find out this way
No, you're not being memed on. You really are that much of a pleb.
>>72164879
joy division is trash but new order is fantastic.
it's the same band but without the whiny lead singer and dull music
>>72164879
Never liked:
>Joy Division.
>The Cure.
>The Smiths.

This anon knows
1st song good
rest is meh imo
It's ok OP I grew out of hating Joy Division. You'll get there
Yes. It's not you who's wrong. Everyone else is just pretending to like it.
The Smiths are better desu
Joy Division is my favorite band AMA reddit
>>72164912
imagine being this much of a desesperate pleblord
Theyre overrated but still good. Unknown Pleasures is good, jsut another over hyped album by posers so it gets a bad wrap
generally anything people cling to for status gets a bad wrap

underrated post
>>72164879
They're okay. New Order is way better.
>>72164879
Yeah, their music is for edgy homosexuals, but considering that is literally /mu/, you aren't being memed.
wtf I hate Joy Divison now
People here unironically like Father John Misty and don't "get" Joy Division.
This board is about music as memes and styles, literally has nothing to do with actual music so please don't try to "get" anything by asking these folks.

Joy Division is for young people rediscovering some shit like Arctic Monkeys and The Smiths
Only for the dank memes

Transmission is the shit. If you like any post punk, you should like that one. Some of their non-album stuff is the best place to start.

just move on and stop being a crying cunt big pussy
>>72164904
>>72164912
these
Closer is better.
New Order is better.
Ian was a decent bloke.
>>72164912
This, you either become patrician an know that Joy Division are overrated garbage and New Order are far better, or you get memed by the meme of "synthpop is for faggots lmao".
>>72164879
Closer is really the album you should listen to first. Unknown Pleasures can sound minimalist in a bad way because they REALLY don't try to play their instruments well throughout most of it.
Unknown Pleasures is overrated but Closer is the best dance album out of JD/New Age
Friendly reminder that Joy Division were at their best when they were a straight up punk band.
Try an ideal for living or the Warsaw stuff they did if Unknown pleasures and Closer doesn't work out for you
Glass has one of the sickest basslines ever

It's perfectly fine if you don't like it. But just because it does nothing for you doesn't mean it's bad.
>>72164879
You just don't like post-punk that's fine
To bad tumblr ruined this LP
>>72164936
this guy gets it
american post punk > british post punk
>>72169243
How did tublr ruin it? Did they destroy all original copies of it and take them out of circulation on the inernet so now the only ones available are altered versions?
>>72164879
It's prob the biggest tragedy that this album got so famous among high school angsty tumblr cucks
album so great but much like allot of things it got ruined by the internet, teenagers and commercialization
You just don't like darker themed music and that's perfectly fine
Jesus Christ you people try so hard. New Order is great, but Joy Division was better. Both of their records are distinct, tho I'm partial to Closer as it feels like Hannet really got to flex and fully form his aesthetic. And elevated the material to a higher level.
Ian was a brilliant and distinct writer who, with Hannett and the brilliance of the band behind him, crafted two records that are elevated, watershed works of art.
New Order is great, but you fuckin jerkoffs need to settle with reality, there's nothing like Joy Division at their peak.
Op, sorry but you need to put in some work and get on the fucking level.
