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! 🎢

I feel like a moving target whenever I say I greatly prefer Echo & the Bunnymen over The Cure BUT I can't help it, their kind of 80s post-punk neopsychedelia is so good. Love all their albums from Crocodiles to self-titled, although I need to check out their later stuff.

Great song! And hey, maybe someone will A.I. Roy Orbison in a cover in a few years lol

That’s.. not a terrible idea.

Until then, maybe I’ll put on my crooner voice and give a cover a try.

Hear Hear!
We're far better off making music with new humans than with the artificial ghosts of dead voices.

OMG someone out there hates this song? Have you no soul? Is it possible that your mind with its values and conscience are not even troubled by what your will has chosen and your body carried out?
