Alternative Nation: The Fediverse's Alternative and Indie Music Community
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!
🎵🎧🎶
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! 🎶

It’s funny, I’ve never really gotten into MBV. By all accounts, I should really enjoy their music. I love YoLa Tengo, Sonic Youth, Luna, PJ Harvey, The Sugarcubes, KNOWER (similar insofar as the vocals get kinda buried back in the mix and are breathy and high), Unwound…my bloody valentine should definitely be in my wheelhouse. But…no matter how many times I’ve listened to them I just haven’t been grabbed by any of it.
There have been plenty of bands that this had happened with, and I finally listened at the right time and fell in love—who knows, that might still be possible. But after many years MBV just never did anything for me.
Can anyone recommend one song that they just feel is their go-to to recommend? It’s weird, I feel like when I listen that I could enjoy it, but…it just bores me? I don’t know why, that’s not usually a feeling I feel often with music that isn’t just standard pop fare. Still feel that way, though.
@TheFriar @Aesecakes my favorites are:
Come In Alone, Only Shallow, Sometimes, Soon, Feed Me With Your Kiss, You Made Me Realise, Sueisfine, I Can See It, I Believe, Never Say Goodbye, Paint A Rainbow Glider.
I hope you like at least one of these 😊
