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! 🎶

Yes, the cornflake girl—I'll agree, but Shirley was more than a pinch for me.

Shirley + Janet Munro (Darby O'Gill lead) + Heather Carolin pretty much cinched my fate in the 90s to fall for a forthright redhead.

Over and over, yes, but eventually, too. 🤪

There's a lot going on here—and I'm with you, most of the time, but holy shit you're pulling some referneces—Darby O'Gill? Does anyone know that? I know it as some sort of fever dream. There was a banshee.

Shiiit, I didn't Even know Connery was her co-star until I was in my 20s, she was that gawdamned hot.

You've lost me. I'm sorry, man, Connery references are too old for me

A young Sean Connery co-starred in Darby O'Gill & the Little People...

I believe you. And I actually know the movie, but I don't think any one else does.

Ha! If I lived my life (here or otherwise) with caution as to whom may or may not get my references, that would be disingenuous to my own self as well as irresponsible to all of those that may learn a little something. (Chalk it up to decades of being a serial redhead aficionado.🤪)

You do you, littleblue. I'll give you a bump
