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.

DAY 12 of the 30 Day Song Challenge, alternative music styles!
Time to give away just how old you are! lol - reach back, y'all! What's an alternative childhood song ya love?
Each day Iβll post the challenge and you share some of your favorite alternative & indie songs that meet the challenge!
There are a lot of choices here, so Iβll go with βHold On When You Get Love, and Let Go When You Give Itβ by Stars. This song came out when I was 8, and that whole album became pretty iconic. I probably would have said something else at the time but this song I think still evokes the same feeling today as it did a decade ago, and thatβs part of why I like it so much.
Take the weakest thing in you And then beat the bastards with it And always hold on when you get love So you can let go when you give it
love Stars so much.
