For fans of indie and alternative music.

For now there’s no real rules of Lemmy’s indieheads except these guidelines from the original subreddit:

We are purposely vague on a definition of “indie”. In general, music & news posts from these genres are not allowed:

Mainstream Rock/Metal Mainstream Pop Mainstream Hip Hop/R&B Mainstream Electronic & EDM

This is to encourage posts with music from more independent & underground artists. Experimental music & underground acts that exist within the banned genres will be allowed, at the discretion of the mods.

Feel free to discuss features you'd like to see on this community here. All ideas welcome!

I have been generally just looking through year end lists of the best new music for the year and spending the next few months going through that, but I feel there may be a better way.

I'm an old school guy, so I'm still following a lot of blogs (shoutout to Brooklyn Vegan, The Line Of Best Fit, Gorilla vs bear and Clash in particular) but if you use Spotify, EveryNoise is amazing. You can either look up genres or just browse their MASSIVE new releases page, where you can filter all the genres you're interested in and make yourself a nice custom one. https://everynoise.com/new_releases_by_genre.cgi This website was a real gamechanger for me. I spent like an hour there every week, just listening to the previews. Honestly the biggest reason why I still didn't leave sinking Swedish ship, I don't think there's a good equivalent for different platforms.

Also hello Lemmy (my first post here, posting on r/indieheads regularly, here mostly just in case anything happens)
