For fans of indie and alternative music.

For now there’s no real rules of Lemmy’s indieheads except these guidelines from the original subreddit:

We are purposely vague on a definition of “indie”. In general, music & news posts from these genres are not allowed:

Mainstream Rock/Metal Mainstream Pop Mainstream Hip Hop/R&B Mainstream Electronic & EDM

This is to encourage posts with music from more independent & underground artists. Experimental music & underground acts that exist within the banned genres will be allowed, at the discretion of the mods.

Feel free to discuss features you'd like to see on this community here. All ideas welcome!

I have been generally just looking through year end lists of the best new music for the year and spending the next few months going through that, but I feel there may be a better way.

This is going to sound really weird but...Eurovision. Obviously it's not all (or even majority) "indie" but there's always a fair bit and I enjoy being exposed to music from other cultures.

For example this year's major find are a Finnish band called Kuumaa, who Google insist on classifying as "pop" but never mind. Particularly their song from the Finnish national selection this year "Ylivoimainen". Shoutout to Sudden Lights from Latvia and Joker Out from Slovenia this year too.
