Yet the streaming service has been shaping the musical tastes of teenagers for years before the release of Wednesday and Stranger Things 4. With the recent announcement that ‘Master of Puppets’ will feature in the video game Fortnite, the band are only set to gain more teenage fans. After its use in the show, the track entered the charts for the first time since its release in 1986, with the popularity of Quinn’s outcast metalhead character introducing Metallica to a new legion of young fans. The latter is performed by Joseph Quinn’s character Eddie Munson in a dramatic sequence in which he attempts to distract the demo bats in the Upside Down. Stranger Things also breathed new life into two other tracks this year: ‘Pass the Dutchie’ by Musical Youth and ‘Master of Puppets’ by Metallica.

I’ve never experienced anything quite like this before!” The song shot to number one in a handful of countries, including the UK, where it stayed for three consecutive weeks, and her album Hounds of Love even topped the US Alternative charts. With that, Bush stated her delight about the song being discovered by a new generation of people: “The track is being responded to in so many positive ways. Momentarily, you could not swipe through the app without hearing, “And if I only could/ I’d make a deal with God/ And get him to swap our places”. Earlier this year, a clip from a Stranger Things 4 episode in which Sadie Sink’s character Max plays her favourite song, ‘Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)’ by Kate Bush, again went viral. However, that is just one of many instances of an old song, otherwise unknown to many adolescents, becoming hugely popular on TikTok and, thus, amongst the younger generation. Upon the release of Wednesday, a scene in which the title character dances to The Cramps’ 1981 punk track ‘Goo Goo Muck’ went viral, spurring teenagers across the globe to recreate actor Jenna Ortega’s unorthodox dance routine. Subsequently, the track has now been streamed over 16 million times on Spotify.

You can find communities dedicated to debating characters and creating fan theories in a few simple clicks.
