Joy Division Music Is Depressing, Not Inspiring
Filed Under (Joy Division Suck) by admin on
I’m tired of Joy Division fans telling me that I don’t understand the band. These idiots believe that music should be depressing otherwise it doesn’t hold any real meaning or worth. That’s why so few of them listen to any pop music!
Anyway there’s nothing wrong with music being depressing. Radiohead have mastered the art of creating mournful soundscapes that have inspired a generation. Joy Division have inspired many people to smash their own ear drums in with wooden cooking spoons.
The fact is Joy Division didn’t have any really good songs. If you listen to ‘Unknown Pleasures’ or ‘Closer’ you’ll realize that the records are 98% production and very little of substances lies underneath. This is why Joy Division fans have to spend so much time trying to like the bands music.
There’s nothing there at all but layers and layers of reverb. If the English had any sense they’d have vilified this band and Martin fucking Hannett a long, long time ago.
