Facebook will tear us apart The famous cover of the single “Love will tear us apart”, from the legendary band Joy Division, published in 1980, is reconstructed and updated to the extent of our emotional problems and the abuse of social networks. Sounds common? Curiously, being one of the most pessimistic and depressive bands in the countercultural universe of the end of the last century, Joy Division has become an icon of contemporary “alternative” consumerism. For some a party song, for others an extremely depressing tune. There are no borders for capital, no untouchable icons.
