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...

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.

Heart Shaped Box - Nirvana
Yea yeah, I know there are better Nirvana songs but that one I can listen to forever.
there aren’t “better” Nirvana songs… there are just songs you love, period, full stop. Ain’t no right or wrong, good or bad, in art my friend! The heart wants what the heart wants and if it’s “Heart Shaped Box” by Nirvana, turn that shit up & on repeat!
A few years back, a local radio station played a Steve Albini mix of HSB. If you haven't heard it yet, I would suggest you go looking for it. It's rawer than what appeared on the album and after a few listens, I think I prefer the Albini mix.
