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.

๐ŸŽต Let's get lost in the Fediverse's record store together! ๐ŸŽถ

There's a wealth of music from New Zealand for you to discover if you haven't heard of Flying Nun already.

@ren @ryuundo Ditto! New to me as well. Kinda surprised I missed this since they're on Flying Nun Records.

They sound a lot like another band but I can't think of exactly who. ๐Ÿค”

Thanks for the share! ๐Ÿ‘Š

my first thought was 10000 maniacs, but that's not right....

[โ€“] Defiance@sfba.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@ren Yeah, I thought maybe Camera Obscura, but then compared and no, that's not it. It'll come to me at some point. Don't be surprised if I reply here in a month ๐Ÿ˜‚
