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!

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! 🎶

@ren it’s funny, my former boss was in this video. I have so much respect for Len after hearing the story. They basically knew they caught lightning in a bottle with that song and took a bunch of the labels money and used it to fly all their friends from St Catherines down to Florida to shoot a guerrilla video. No permits or anything, just getting drunk and fucking about on the boardwalk.
Most of the times the label gives them a bill for that stuff and the band has to pay it back in album sales. Hope they knew that 😅
amazing! It’s a super fun album too.
