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! 🎶

Possibly my favorite Matthew Sweet song. There's a lot to choose from, but I've always loved Evangeline.

In hindsight, surprised no one said Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne" <3

Treat Her Right - Hank

Could also go with THR's "Marie" but this one is just more fun. I fucking love Mark Sandman so much.

Clairo's Sofia is a catchy song and a sweet romance.

lilybelle - the geraldine fibbers

Excuse to post this link to a concert that i was not at, but have virtually attended a few times times during covid lockdowns.
lilybelle is at 40:57 but it's all worth a watch, even the ones without peoples names in the title.

i'm not normally a fan of concert recordings, but i think this one is pretty reasonable sound for youtube - and back in 2020 was a godsend.
and since then i prefer it to the cd.
