Alternative Nation : The Fediverse's largest alternative and indie music community! All things alternative music, from 80s college rock to today's indie and all the amazing alternative music in between. Welcome home, music nerds!

Some of y'all may remember MTV's Alternative Nation or 120 Minutes, awesome programs & incredible ways to discover #music back in the 80s & 90s...

Welcome, to the Fediverse edition!

Subscribe, share, & chat!

Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!

See this post on recs on how to post!

The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

@alternativenation Hey there! My name is Chelsea, I'm very green to Mastodon but just came across this community and figured I'd share some of my music. Comparisons include "Joni Mitchell meets Nirvana," Hole, and Patti Smith. My latest album, Queen of No, came out in May: https://open.spotify.com/album/2IcffqN7Cv0hUsuV9iEEq6?si=w73DEUqgQ3e4hIVspmWRlQ

I'm also a fan of alt from the 80's thru today - some favorites include The Replacements, Pavement, Bully, and Jimmy Eat World.

If you take the time, thanks for checking it out! ๐Ÿ™‚

Welcome to Mastodon, and by extension, the Fediverse! We're glad you're here!

@TheImpressiveX thanks! I created an account a year ago but, admittedly, was a little confused how to actually use it. ๐Ÿ˜… Figured I'd give it another try, I appreciate the welcome!
