alt.music.ontario-emperor
A vanity music group from alt.*’s open era.
Created around the online persona "Ontario Emperor" — one of the alt hierarchy’s many personal/vanity groups, where the barrier to creating a newsgroup was a correctly formatted control message and nerve.
Kept here as cited: a specimen of how alt.* actually grew.
