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! 🎢

Wow I never made that connection. Spot on. They even look a bit similar.

[–] lars@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Lolol. And I never realized they kinda look alike.

I loved this vibe in the 90s. I wish they created more James like that. Last I heard of Edie was collaborations with Steve Martin's blue grass band. Too cool
