From Grunge to Gangsta Rap and everything in between! Post a song and let's talk about it!


Rules

  1. All aspects of the LW TOS apply.
  2. Be constructive and don't gatekeep. Music is highly subjective, and people have different tastes.
  3. If the source is YouTube, use the actual YouTube URL rather than a specific Invidious/Piped link. This prevents dead links as those go on/offline or break due to Google changes while also letting people's browser plugins, Lemmy clients, etc automatically re-write YT links to their preferred instances. Feel free to put alternate links in the post body, though.
  4. Submissions must be from the 90s (1990 - 1999) based on either recorded or release date. e.g. if it was recorded in 1999 but released in 2000, we're not going to split hairs over that; post away. Covers made in the 90s of older music is absolutely allowed and encouraged.

Posting Guidelines / Suggestions

  1. The preferred title format is Artist - Song Name [YEAR]
  2. If a song has a particular meaning or evokes a pleasant memory for you, feel free to share your story with it.
  3. Consider using song.link links. Those will embed/offer links to the song from multiple platforms (Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, YouTube/YT Music, etc). Most of the time, they'll also provide an embed video to YouTube which will render interactively in some Lemmy clients (Tesseract, Photon, etc).

If you have other suggestions that would help grow the community and/or foster discussion, please feel free to share.

"Swing low In a dark glass hour You turn and cower See it turn to dust Move on a stone dark night We take to flight Snowfall turns to rust

Seam in a fusing mine Like a nursing rhyme Fat man starts to fall Here in a hostile place I hear your face start to call

And if you think That I've been losing my way That's because I'm slightly blinded And if you think That I don't make too much sense That's because I'm broken minded

Don't keep it... Inside If you believe it Don't keep it all inside

Strong words In a ganges sky I have to lie Shadows move in pairs

Ring out from a bruised postcard In the shooting yard Looking through the tears Out of a black slate time We move in line But never reach an end

Fall in a long stray town As the ice comes down River starts to bend

And if you think That I've been losing my way That's because I'm slightly blinded And if you think That I don't make too much sense That's because I'm broken minded

Don't keep it... Inside If you believe it Don't keep it all inside."

I love that this song only exists because a denim company wanted to use the Smashing Pumpkins song 'Today' and were told no.

So they hired a bunch of lads and they churned out this banger.

The lyrics are the most grunge-pastiche nonsense ever written and work perfectly.
