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.

My first night in my freshman dorm, I played this on the upright piano. Excellent decision. Pro tip to the young geeks: nothing waters the flowers like suicidal ideation wrapped in a veneer of artistic integrity. I can't even sing for shit, that's how well it works.

Fucking love Fugazi, Ian MacKaye is an inspiration for any musician or fan of music.

Dude was instrumental in pioneering the DIY ethic that has been so influential to the punk scene, he originated the term straight-edge for the way he lived his life. He was a real contrast to the "fuck it lets do heroin" attitude that makes/made up a lot of the scene.

To say he's a big deal is a bit of an understatement.
