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! 🎶

Love this song but oh my have some of the lyrics not aged well, eh? Ha!

Yeah I find this album harder to listen to as I get older, but I think there is something admirable about the raw, unfiltered angst and I think the music is aware of how weird and creepy it is

the music is absolutely wonderful on Blue & Pinkerton, no doubt! But yeah, the sad constant pining for people who don’t want you is creepy, the asian fetishization, reading their diary, hmmm… yeah, we don’t do that anymore, y’all, woof! He grew up watching revenge of the nerds just like me, so I get it, but yeeeeeeaaaaahhhhh……. not so good these days.

Oh weezer. One of my favorite bands of all times, certainly of the 90s and mid 2000s. Maladroit is still one of my favorite (and very under appreciated) albums from their discog.
