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.

🎡 Let's get lost in the Fediverse's record store together! 🎢

Let's discuss Neko Case. Is she God, or God with red hair?

And The Laws Have Changed And The End of Medicine And Chump Change And the whole thing on repeat a few times for good measure.

And All For Swinging You around. Which has a newly remastered video.

It’s amazes me how unknown they are considering how much amazing music they’ve made for as long as they have.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think they're that unknown, just independent, they've been on David Letterman and stuff. But I can never believe they're not the biggest band in the world.

All of their records are interesting and catchy as hell. I was just listening to Mass Romantic yesterday.

Did you hear the new one yet? I'm in love.
