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! 🎶

Ben Folds Five - Philosophy

While I can't relate to property development, this was my self chosen theme song for a very long time. To me it's just about trusting yourself and your worldview; living life in a way that makes you happy even if it doesn't conform to what other people think you should be doing.

And there's that fuzz bass that's just chef's kiss

Edit: the whole "punk rock for nerds" aesthetic of BFF plays into it a lot too. I love punk, but I am not and never have been a punk. I'm a computer nerd.

I guess it shouldn't be super weird to say one of my own songs that is about me would be a song that "reminds me of me", right?
