I know what the names mean and it's pretty horrific. They weren't/aren't supporting it, are they? Maybe reminding us of the horror, perhaps? I hope so.

You didn't really think this through real well, did you? These bands took their respective names from a World War II novel written by a former concentration camp victim. So do you suppose Yehiel De-Nur was trying to celebrate and glamorize the Nazis? That's a ridiculous assumption to imply that Joy Division/New Order are Nazi sympathizers.

they aren't nazi's. they'd probably just heard of the Joy Division and decided it would be a good name for a band, despite the connotations. As for new order, it's kind of appropriate, considering they were pretty much starting again after Ian Curtis died.

I don't think they chose those names because of the meanings, I think they just liked the way it sounded. Joy Division has a ring to it that could sound new wave/post punk. I think they chose the name New Order because they lost a member of JD.

I would say they were definitely not supporting it... How could anybody support the Hitler and or the Holocaust...maybe they just chose them to make everybody think. This would be a good question for lovnrckets.
I knew you would come and explain it much better than I could lovnrckets!

Probably the same reason Black Sabbath and Judas Priest picked their names--shock value
