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...

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.

TVOTR is amazing. I'm sad that there is a very low likelihood that we'll hear new music from them. If you're looking for similar sounds, Menomena has the same feel.

Very true. TAOS specifically comes to mind as similar to TVOTR.

I also always felt like ATD-I had a pretty similar vibe. Anything from Relationship Of Command

Love that Letterman (and still some with Colbert) really had some great music acts on.

I heard Local H's cover first, which also nails it

[–] pixel_witch@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Same here. Heard it for the first time when I saw local h live.

I watched this exact performance so, so many times during my late teen years. Still so killer, miss them.
