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.

I couldn't come up with something less punk than donating money to donald trump's campaign if I tried

Friend of a friend goes to tons of punk shows, he's very maga and hates that people think hes liberal because his hair is dyed purple and has a lip ring. He really doesnt get it.

Absolutely. I met him once on a guy's weekend and he had to fall asleep to Joe Rogan podcast. I just drove home in the middle of the night the first night of the weekend trip.

Maybe it was so boring and repetitive it would lull him to sleep?

So the punk version of the guy in 'fly for a white guy.'
