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!

šŸŽµšŸŽ§šŸŽ¶

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.

This is actually tough for me. I was born in a stellar year for alternative music: 1988. Do I go with Pixies? The Sugarcubes? My Bloody Valentine? Janeā€™s Addiction?

Ultimately, my choice is one of my favorite bands.

Sonic Youth - The Sprawl

Lol well Iā€™d actually argue you were the luckier one. You actually got to experience 1988, I donā€™t remember any of it
