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.

I found a website on twitter a while ago called getmusic.fm that's basically a collection of free Bandcamp vouchers artists will submit to the site to try to get exposure by giving away their music. I've used it a few times, and a lot of it is a bit rough but there's a few gems in there.

Have you ever discovered a new artist through a website like this?

This is my first time hearing about it, but it seems like a good resource. Thanks for posting!

At first glance, the Popular section seems like a good place to help weed things out. I'm curious to check out the Radio section as well.

David Rosen is pretty damn good.

Have never used twitter or heard of this so not really.
