We are launching a three-part series dissecting your favorite 1980s-nostalgia-bait Netflix series (that Erin loves and Rhonda... doesn't love), Stranger Things!
In this first part, we look at the unique placement of Stranger Things and its fandom within main stream pop culture. From the show's homages to DND and sci-fi/horror fans, to the recent evolution in the online fandom through social media platforms like TikTok. Yes, we're talking about the "Chrissy, Wake Up" TikTok remix song.
We also give a very brief snapshot of other topics we want to explore in this series, like culture and politics of the 1980s, the dangers of nostalgia, and the fantasy creatures and magical powers depicted in the show.
Follow us on Instagram, I guess.
