Joy Division is no more so most groups won´t have a problem adopting them as forefathers, New Order on the other hand are very much here with a quite unique style, you cannot be influenced by the Order you can only steal from them.
True, but there is bands that are influenced by them, as for instance, the Chemical Brothers who say Bernard Sumner is their hero... etc.
