Without the music, Stranger Things just wouldn't be what it is to everyone who loves the show. The music is what brings the emotion out of the scene and shoves it into the minds of the viewers. It has such an impact on storytelling and how the atmosphere of each and every intricate sequence is conveyed. I literally love it, and believe that in a way music and sound design is the real basis for greatness in all film media. I mean seriously, look at films scored by Hans Zimmer and tell me they aren't the most intense and stimulating shows of emotion and atmosphere ever.

As someone who grew up in the 80s. There is a scene where the kids are cycling over a hill at night. Their bike lamps cutting through the dust and the background music was so spot on 1980s horror, that I almost burst into tears of joy. Stranger Things is a masterpiece of nostalgia. Thank you.

@bartni 5 лет назад

it sounds very 80s, but was there any music like this at that time?

@nsjx 5 лет назад

bartni yes but perhaps not entirely All based in the US ;) but actually Yes, all around the world. These synths and timbers are not new by any stretch of the modern imagination. they are rather seeing a revival and i think its a great thing. but for my taste i wish the modern “retro” sound would KEEP the emotional dynamics of the original vibe and not crush everything together for the sake of constant loudness.

@CrossEyedLion85 6 лет назад

The Eleven Theme talked about at 3:10 and the start of the credits in S2E8 at 3:45 was one of the most intense moments in Stranger Things. The entire soundtrack is so perfect. I never skip the intro or credits, cause the music is like sucking you deep into the emotions that have just been transferred visually. So good! I never watched Stranger Things, till I heard the soundtrack and just absorbed the 2 seasons in a couple of days.

@JHANKSMEDIA Год назад

Same! Although I’d always loved the title sequence song, I didn’t think I’d really be into the show so I just never gave it a chance. But after hearing Kids in a TikTok or something, that was enough to make me wanna give it a shot, and I flew through all 4 seasons in about 4-5 days 🤣 and now I’m bummed I have to wait another 2 years or so for the series finale.

@@JHANKSMEDIA A friend of mine had watched it. I thought, Ill give it a whirl. Then 4 days past and hubby and I had binged the first three seasons. My kids thought I was silly, but then they gave it a chance and got hooked. There is nothing like 80s music! ST will be a cult film for years to come.
