'''Joy Division''' was a [[goth|post-punk]] [[england|British]] band from [[at least 100 years ago]]. There were four members but no one cares about any of them except [[an hero|Ian Curtis]]. The band took their name from a book about [[WWII]], the joy division being a group of Jew women kept alive to work in concentration camp [[rape|brothels]]. Because of this connection, Joy Division were, perhaps rightfully, often accused of being [[nazi|Nazi]]-sympathizers. 

[[Art school]] students love Joy Division because art school students love old, [[scene|"obscure"]], depressing music/music they can [[cutting|cut]] to.

==Ian Curtis==

After releasing one album, finishing another, and doing European tours, Ian Curtis hung himself in 1980. This was presumably because of the [[angst|stress]] of sudden success, having a hot foreign [[Whore|mistress]] but an [[emo|angry]], [[fat|frumpy]] wife, and severe [[epilepsy]]. Most of that sucks, except for the hot foreign [[whore|mistress]] part. In all likelihood, he did it for the same reason [[Hitler]] killed himself: [[I did it for the lulz|for the lulz]]. The next day, his estranged wife came home and discovered his body and she got scared and said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air." He was then cremated, as most WWII [[Jews]] were, and buried in his hometown of [[Shithole|Macclesfield]] which, for the record, he hated. Even in death, our [[an hero|hero]] is denied happiness.<br>
Hilariously, the rest of the band became rich and famous as soon as this twitchy albatross exited the band.

==The Ian Curtis/Joy Division Movie==
Recently, a movie about Ian Curtis and Joy Division was released and many critics [[fap|praised]] it. The movie, ''Control'', was intended to be a [[drama]], however, it often brought the [[lulz]] because the only thing funnier than [[epilepsy|seizures]] is watching someone have [[nice try|fake]] [[epilepsy|seizures]] for the sake of [[art]].

==Influence==
Many [[emo|current]] bands were influenced by Joy Division. However, not enough bands realized that the best way to emulate Joy Division is to have your lead singer kill him-or-herself before they start churning out shitty music everyone will forget about by next year.
The following bands have tried, and failed, to be reminiscent of Joy Division:
*[[My Chemical Romance]] - In a February 2007 Mojo magazine column, frontman [[fag|Gerard Way]] is supposed to talk about Joy Division's music... but mostly [[USI|talks about himself]] and [[art school]].
*Fall Out Boy - Their cover of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" made [[16-year-old girls]] cream themselves. Everyone else wanted to engage in [[cutting|self-harm]].
*Nirvana - [[Kurt Cobain|Lead singer]] + suicide = people giving a shit.
*[[Prussian Blue]] - More Nazi sympathizers!
*[[U2]] - Bono has been reported to fantasize about [[buttsecks]] with Ian Curtis. This surely contributed to Curtis's [[suicide]].
*Interpol - Monotonous, dissonant voices unite! Only not, since Ian Curtis is dead. [[Fail]].
*Any other band with with a member who committed suicide, inability to play their instruments, and/or sing in more than one tone.
*Teenage girls on [[tumblr]] who wear the band shirt because they think it makes them look indie and hipster and worldly.
*Also, inevitably, [[Mudkips]].
