How a subtle modern reference propels viewer out of 1980s
The Star
|December 08, 2025
ANYONE who's watched Stranger Things over the past decade (yes, it’s really been that long to get five seasons of the hit Netflix show) knows one of the main draws is its ’80s nostalgia appeal.
From the synth-heavy intro music to all the old tech and board games brandished throughout the show, Stranger Things blends sci-fi, action, and a bit of horror to great effect.
Of course, the majority of the main characters in the show started out as young teenagers and are now supposed to still be in school, despite the actors being in their 20s now.
That's beside the point though. Stranger Things is a cultural phenomenon and it’s always the top-rated show whenever a new season is released.
