From 1979. Punk could be arty too. This is one of my favorite performances. So raw, yet multi-layered. Ian Curtis has these dead eyes which foreshadows his plight. No one has ever matched his dancing at the mic.

Dunno, Thom Yorke might be a close second.
HOT TAKE: Joy Division is the most overrated band of the past 50 years. Seriously awful stuff. *

... couldn't tell if serious ...
Perhaps I used a bit of hyperbole, but they've always left me cold.
About the only thing I like about them is Richard Buckner's cover of "Love Will Tear Us Apart". (Which I love.)
I wasn't really ever a fan of Joy Division, but the Richard Buckner video is always appreciated.
