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!

๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽง๐ŸŽถ

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'm enjoying this debut album from Irish group Naked Lungs. It's like a darker doomier Fontaines DC.

interesting! will check it out - feel like our music tastes tend to align

[โ€“] kvn@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I think so too. I tend to think that I'm open to a wide variety of music. And you have to be to run a community like this!

[โ€“] ren@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

that's why I'm hoping to find mods that are either a) in different time zones or b) with broad music tastes.

I'd be willing to help, as I'm in an EU timezone ยฏโ \โ _โ (โ ใƒ„โ )โ _โ /โ ยฏ

set up! Welcome aboard!

[โ€“] ren@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Awesome!! I can set you up. My main ask is that you help keep the music shares coming and if anyone gets dicky or full of hate, we moderate their asses. lol

[โ€“] mounderfod@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Cool, thank you! :D

[โ€“] kvn@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well I check on this community multiple times a day so I'd be willing to help out if that's what you're suggesting. But I crept on your profile so I know we are in the same time zone so I'm not sure how much help I'd be. I also have zero experience modding anything lol.

[โ€“] ren@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Iโ€™d love to have you! You have good energy and my main ask would be to help keep great music shares coming & if someone gets stupid & dicky, we moderate them. Want to get one of our aussie/new zealand friends here too.

[โ€“] kvn@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah go ahead and add me then. I'll do what I can to help
