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.

Subject: Breathe and step up.

You wouldnt tempt skating, surfing, or boarding the snow if'n it weren't for our dumbasses...

Thank Gad there was the 70's preluding to the 80's punks.

Mininstry - Breathe

Corporate causes with self-served denial The raping of the land Collapse The lungs malfunction They never learned to breathe Breathe! Rusted syringes and half-thought disposal A burial at sea Waste water graveyard Swimming in disease Breathe! This is the world It's not working This is this earth Breathe! breathe, you fucker! Children gasping the second-hand air Death and desperation We've got to cut the lies with truth We breathe Breathe! This is the world The clock's ticking Is this this earth? Breathe! breathe, you fucker!

Hope springs eternal but there's no conviction Action mistaken for ransom is paid All this concern is the true contradiction The world is insane

Breathe!
