The Duffer Brothers, Matt and Ross, probably did enjoy listening to the music we hear on the Stranger Things soundtrack, the breakout Netflix hit that just dropped its third season. They probably didn’t dig into esoteric new wave and punk music, despite the show being set in mid-American Hawkins circa 1984. That’s important, because the Duffer Brothers want to create a mood, as in past seasons of Stranger Things: this is a town that’s not quite ready for what’s about to hit it. In other words, scratch the surface of Hawkins, and it’s not the nice, quiet little town it appears to be. Stranger Things wants you to enjoy the nostalgia trip.
