Man....

People really don't know it from the band anymore?

That piano coming in is fucking iconic, but I guess by now even if people had heard of the band they don't remeber where the name came from

I was a teen in the '80s and I never heard the origin of "Joy Division", just knew the band. DJs on the radio (or on MTV) back then never discussed bands' names or what they meant, so it wasn't easy to know about that stuff. I also never knew what "Dead Kennedys" meant although that's pretty obvious if you just think about it. Hell, I never knew Freddie Mercury was gay despite the band name "Queen".

I also thought Boy George was a woman, but everybody did.
