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! 🎢

The whole album is great. I think I still have the CD somewhere!

I used to have a cassette tape of the album. Loved opening up the folded cover. I think it had all the lyrics too.

Underrated band that's basically only known for this song, maybe Lump.

I'd suggest Dune Buggy and/or Feather Pluckin'

Back Porch is my favorite.

Boll Weevil is great too.

And so on...

POTUSA was such a fun band. Every song was a complete bop you could just happily groove along to.

The lead singer went on to be a phenomenal kids song writer. Check out Caspar Babypants on YouTube

This video started a trend in my group of high school friends where we'd be walking down the street and someone would randomly put their arm in front of someone else, stop and point, saying, "Ninjas!! In the trees." Before we would all break out in kung fu charades.

We thought we were hilarious lol
