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.

The Runaways - Cherry Bomb

A bunch of good ones from 1976 - Ramones, Lou Reed, Modern Lovers, Tom Waits, Blondie ... But I've got two girls who have both been obsessed with Joan Jett at various times, so we'll go with The Runaways.

It's the best. When it works. 😄 One day, my teen is lamenting that no one her age knows Otis Redding.

The next, I put on The Postal Service and she says "This sounds like that Fireflies song..." So I start my diatribe about how that guy just ripped off TPS sound and so on, and she just goes "and they're both bad." Right after I invited her to go see them with me!
