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.

mainly last.fm and Bandcamp. Last.fm recommendations are scarily accurate

this site is very useful: music-map.com

it lets you type in a name of the artist you already like, and then shows you a bunch of others you might like

Mainly through friends or the discover playlist

do you use rateyourmusic?

I'm often too lazy to really search for new music so Spotify radio is perfect for me. I just search for a band I like and listen to "their" radio. Songs of similar artists are added there and I already found some really great bands while listening.

Rate your music mostly, just look for genres you like and you’ll find some good stuff
