What does /pol/ think of the band Joy Division? Imo they're pretty much the most popular natsoc band ever and it's hilarious that most of their listener base today consists of liberal hipsters. I mean their first song ever was entitled "Warsaw" and started off with Rudolf Hess' prison number, and the EP that song was on featured a Hitler Youth on the cover. Their two major albums aren't as overtly fashy but have tons of natsoc-esque imagery. Ian Curtis' wife also painted him as a racist right-wing extremist in her book about him and the band

New Order - the band Joy Division COULD have been.

Peter Hook disowned all of the natsoc stuff since he's been in New Order and said it was all shock value, but I don't believe him. Both are still god-tier bands though

pretty sure they were just being edgy britfags in the 80's
Bowie did similar, as did a lot of other popular brits.
I think the whole fascist/natsoc stuff is just some pseudo-proto-post-punk schtick
This belongs in /mu/.

really makes you think
"Have you all forgot Rudolf Hess?!"
Thats how it starts if you saw the documentary by grant gee. He also says according to her biography about the Indian people who bought his house not looking in the loo.

Favorite band of all time. Ian Curtis hung himself because he knew what was to come for his homeland. One day we will reclaim his country.

Many musicians flirted with nationalist and strength/power imagery at the time because it was counter-culture.. is it really that hard to believe? They were just artsy socialites undergoing a rebellious phase; the ones who have survived have almost been basic bitch liberals. Hell even some of the big weirdos like Throbbing Gristle were ultimately just lefties 'avin a giggle.

For Bowie and some others that may be true, but nearly everyone that knew Ian Curtis said he was far-right and racist
