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! 🎶

Don't forget WKRP in Cincinnati. LOL.

But seriously, maybe we can start a mega-thread of good radio station streams and podcasts?

Edit - Reader, I started the previously mentioned thread

Oh hey you. You’re the reason I post here all the time lol. It’s all your fault.

[–] Aesecakes@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

You’re welcome!

Pomona, home of the Borg and an obsession with the number 47... And a good radio station.

KUOM 100.7, aka Radio K, broadcasting from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities is no slouch.

KUNV The Rebel used to be such a great station. I really don't know what it's like nowadays.

[–] Maruki_Hurakami@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I'd be interested in a mega list of good stations. I'm in a rut right now.

It's not college radio but 4zzz is a community radio station in my home town of Brisbane, Australia that's effectively the same kind of thing and has an online stream:

Thank You! There is now a pinned post at the top to add your favourite station.

(There is also a Brissy Daily thread over at !brisbane@aussie.zone for general chat)

[–] gwildors_gill_slits@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks, yeah I saw the post in this thread about the other pinned post. I'll add this later when I have some more time to write it up in the format requested for that thread.

And thanks for the link to the brisbane thread, but I'm already subbed over there 😀
