Joy Division played their first live gig, a moment that is often credited with kicking off the post-punk eraWould the post-punk era be called "New Wave"? Are those synonymous terms?

Great band. Tragic, life-destroying epilepsy made Ian Curtis a prisoner of his own body, and he took his own life at age 23.

Since 1978???
I had no idea. Amazon Prime Music is my go to source for music. I have over 15,000 songs in my personal library.
25 of them are by Joy Division

Joy Division went on to become New Order, who had several big hits in the 80s.

One cannot help but wonder if any of New Order's classics would have seen the light of day if Ian Curtis remained alive and the frontman.

I didn’t discover Joy Division until about five years ago. I had heard a few New Order tunes back in the day but I am just now learning the whole catalog from YouTube. They both are my current favs. If anyone is interested, there were two movies made about them. 24 Hour Party People and Control.

Post-punk?
So what was punk?
And what was pre-punk?
