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! 🎢

They've got a couple songs that are really great, but I saw them live a few years back and I wouldn't waste your time with that. It was not a very good show

@ZephyrXero that is too bad, i know several bands and artists who have great voices and talent but cannot put on a live show

I remember I went out and bought the first She Wants Revenge album because of how great Tear You Apart was. The rest of the album never really caught on with me, but that single still rules and I'm probably gonna give it my first listen in years today because of this post.

Super awesome! Thanks so much! Oh hey, if you are posting from Mastodon, I recommend using the first line as the title, then putting the content and tagging the community after that. Helps with the formatting

Will check out SWR! Never gave them a listen, sounds amazing

Love seeing She Wants Revenge get some love.

Check out their song True Romance. It was the first of theirs I heard, and still randomly starts up in my head.
