About
As of 2026, it's 10 years old.
Stranger Things bottled pure 1980s nostalgia — bikes, walkie-talkies, Dungeons & Dragons, and a gang of kids facing a monster from another dimension — and turned it into a global phenomenon. It's basically a love letter to Spielberg and Stephen King, with a synth soundtrack and a telekinetic girl who loves Eggos.
It launched careers, revived an entire decade's aesthetic, and even sent a decades-old Kate Bush song rocketing back to number one, which is its own kind of magic.
Nostalgic, thrilling, and impossibly fun, Stranger Things is the show that proved the '80s never really left — and that a kid in a duster is a great place to start a phenomenon.
