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.

Ben Harper - Burn One Down

Back in the days before he stood up.

Today's topic could be like an entire genre of music.

Skiptracing - Mild High Club

How about some laid back psychedelic rock. Everything this band does feels like being high.

Gonna dig a little deeper in to the Alternative Nation one hit wonder stack and throw Jimmie's Chicken Shack - High out there!

Always have this on my 90's alt playlists. Someday I might even revisit the whole album. Haven't done that since snowboarding days in the mid-90's.
