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...

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.

It might be just because the most famous members of Jane's Addiction are famously super hateable dudes. They generally aren't a cool band to like because of both that and the close association with RHCP (whom I personally also do not like), but it is unfair because at their peak JA were a really solid alt rock band that didn't really sound like anybody else out there.
I'll always hate people who cause physical or emotional harm to others. I stopped listening to artists because of that. I understand that and think that the hate in this instance is more than adequate.
But, to hate someone or someones art because they are 'famously super hateable dudes' or 'generally arenβt a cool band' is something that I don't understand. You could have the most punchable face in the universe, but if I like your art, I'm gonna enjoy it, and maybe, in time, learn to love your face too.
I understand, on the other hand, that some people don't like certain music, and that's fine. There are downvote buttons for that. I don't like a lot of popular music, but I don't hate it or the artist. I tend to ignore their art and in most cases the artist.
