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.

Young Fresh Fellows - Picturebook

They don't really all play the drums. :)

My first instinct is to share Yes songs, that I can magically pick the song I’m obsessed with that will click with anyone who hears it. But alas……

SO! I’ll go with a more recent song. Island “Set The Fairlight” https://youtu.be/D_blCeS9kdw?si=5JqVazYWz7-acBlp in under 6mins it’s a frenetic sprawling masterpiece of up and down and left and right. Nick always has some prog tendencies (listen to Islands Arm’s Way album all the way through, wow! But this one he kept super tight and fun, and that scratchy fast dry guitar strumming and wild synths! UNf!!!111

you never get that feeling on a song where you are like, “Oh man, the whole world needs to hear this!!!”

Slowdive - alife

Their new album is out today. It's new, that's why you should listen to it.

[–] kvn@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

I can't argue against this. It's an excellent album

Spose - Alternative Radio

This is just a fun, honest song about growing up on 90s radio. Spose is a good guy and makes some great music. He had a brush with a hit song (I'm Awesome) and was courted by record companies, but ultimately decided to go it on his own.
