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.

[30 Day Song Challenge: Alternative Nation Edition] Day 16 - A favorite CLASSIC alternative song! (lemmy.world)

Today we start the 2nd half of the challenge!!! DAY 16 of the 30 Day Song Challenge, alternative music styles!

The way I read this one is, what’s a song that’s generally accepted as a CLASSIC alternative song that you love? ICONIC. THE standard for a band or moment or for the genre.

An obvious example would be like Nine Inch Nails “Head Like A Hole” - their breakthrough classic that’s pretty much synonymous with NIN.

Each day I’ll post the challenge and you share some of your favorite alternative & indie songs that meet the challenge!

Great song and great band! I was super into Mike Doughty's first solo album after Soul Coughing, and it was great music - but the following albums lost whatever it was that connected me to his music.
