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!

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.

One I have listened to off and on for nearly 20 years now is Radio Paradise.
Radio Paradise
It's not an exclusively Alternative station, but a fairly wide ranging mix of classics, b-sides, world, electronic, etc. All fairly low-key but interesting.
They introduced me to so many bands over the years. And it is rare to not hear something I fall in love with any time I turn them on.
There was a time that I listened to RP now and again. I distinctly remember a barber I used to go to who had it on in his salon all the the time. They were definitley a pioneer of streaming radio and played a good mix. Thanks for the suggestion @[email protected]
@Aesecakes @CmndrShrm I still listen to their mellow mix and global station on #VLC player. Love #RadioParadise.
