Songs I Think Stranger Things Characters Would Listen To (The Party + Erica: Edition)

Note: For these lists, I tried to include songs that we haven't really seen in canon for the characters. We know that Max likes "Running Up That Hill", we know Mike likes "Small Town Boy", and we know Will likes "Boys Don't Cry". I love those songs and they are included in these playlists but I'm more interested in using music as a way to expand on and flesh out these characters.

I have also linked to Spotify playlists for each character. If you agree or disagree with any of my picks, please let me know!

Will Byers

Will has inherited a lot of his music taste from Jonathan but it's evolved in a way that's distinctly his own. Unlike his brother, Will's music tends to be more pop-focused. He likes new wave, post-punk, and moody songs that he can listen to while he paints. I think Will really pays attention to the lyrics of the music he listens to and it serves as a kind of therapy for him.

In Between Days by The Cure

Elegia by New Order

Mad World by Tears For Fears

Lost in the Supermarket by The Clash

It's A Sin by Pet Shop Boys

Major Tom (Coming Home) by Peter Schilling

Without You by David Bowie

This Charming Man by The Smiths

Mike Wheeler

Mike is always trying to appear slightly cooler than he is. He likes classic rock in a very Eric Forman way (if that makes any sense). By the time he joins Hellfire Club, he's trying to emulate Eddie's style and music taste because he just thinks Eddie's that cool. At his core, Mike enjoys sappy songs about love, life, and heartbreak because he's a dork who likes to jam out in his room.

Never Surrender by Corey Hart

Dream On by Aerosmith

Suburbia by Pet Shop Boys

Punishment For Love by Bronski Beat

Hold Me Now by Thompson Twins

Hells Bells by AC/DC

Summer of '69 by Bryan Adams

Eighteen by Alice Cooper

El "Jane" Hopper

El is just finding her own music taste. She’s only been shown music by her friends or Hopper so she picks and chooses what she likes. Mostly that’s a lot of pop music and ballads. She also watches a lot of MTV so her taste tends to skew pretty mainstream. When Max teaches her how to put together mixtapes her’s tend to be pretty upbeat or dramatic depending on her mood. While she’s contemplating her relationship with Mike she listens to a lot of gaudy break-up ballads. 

Hey Mickey by Toni Basil

She Bop by Cyndi Lauper

The Promise by When In Rome

Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler

Talk Talk by Talk Talk

Could've Been by Tiffany

Destination Unkown by Missing Persons

Two of Hearts by Stacey Q

Max Mayfield

Max’s music taste is kind of hard to pinpoint. It’s really a grab bag of pop, rock, experimental, and softer punk. The only way I can describe it is like “spunky”. There are also moments when the music she listens to becomes more introspective and brooding. In “Runaway Max” she mentions liking The Go-Go’s and The Beach Boys. 

Dreaming by Blondie 

We Got The Beat by The Go-Go’s 

Kids In America by Kim Wilde 

The Girl U Want by DEVO

Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes 

Hounds of Love by Kate Bush 

California Dreamin by The Beach Boys 

White Wedding - Pt.1 by Billy Idol 

Dustin Henderson

Dustin is the nerdiest of nerdiest teenage boys (we wore a "Weird Al" t-shirt on his first day of high school I mean come on). He thinks that "Weird Al" is a genius for his use of parody and critique of pop culture (which, he's not wrong). He's always liked metal but it's only become more prominent for him since hanging out with Eddie so much. Being in Hellfire though has caused him to be more stealthy about his love for novelty records and one-hit wonders. He makes mixtapes full of love songs and saves up his money to send them to Suzie in Utah.

She Blinded Me With Science by Thomas Dolby 

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen 

The Safety Dance by Men Without Hats 

Weird Science by Oingo Boingo 

I’m Gonna Be by The Proclaimers 

As The World Falls Down by David Bowie 

Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley 

I Lost On Jeopardy by “Weird Al” Yankovic

Lucas Sinclair

Lucas’ music taste is pretty diverse. He likes rock music but not as hard as Mike and Dustin’s taste. I imagine he’s picked up a lot of soul and r&b music from his parents, specifically his mom. In “Lucas On The Line” Lucas is introduced to Run-D.M.C. and really takes a shine to it so I imagine he’d be listening to some rap and hip hop. My qualifications for my picks were “would Lucas sing this infront of his bedroom mirror while using a hairbrush as a microphone?”. 

Another One Bites the Dust by Queen 

Walk This Way by Run-D.M.C. 

Dirty Diana by Micheal Jackson

Juke Box Hero by Foreigner 

Easy Lover by Philip Bailey & Phil Collins 

Everything She Wants by Wham!

You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine by Lou Rawls 

Never Too Much by Luther Vandross

Erica Sinclair

Erica is eleven so she tends to gravitate towards music that's popular or that she hears on the radio. Pop and R&B make up most of her cassette collection. The music she likes tends to be very upbeat and kick-ass (these songs are all bangers so she has amazing taste). Like Lucas, she also does dorky lipsyncing in her bedroom but unlike him, she's never been caught.

Head to Toe by Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam 

I Feel For You by Chaka Khan 

What Have You Done For Me Lately by Janet Jackson 

Got to Be Real by Cheryl Lynn 

Let’s Hear It For the Boy by Denise Williams

Rhythm of The Night by DeBarge 

Cool It Now by New Edition 

Swept Away by Diana Ross

I LOVE MAKING CHARACTER PLAYLISTS FOR HYPERFIXATIONS !!

its so fun :33

Jim Kirk Playlist

I love listening to music to get inspired. This has manifested itself into playlists for the main seven in TOS and AOS. I don't have playlists for specific ships just because I have so many so all the songs for all my ships for a certain character are an amalgamation of angst and fluff!

This is mainly for AOS btw, and I've only included the non-shipping ones that are included in my timeline. Let's go!

Run Boy Run | Woodkid- Tarsus IV, Jim was chosen, he ran away and collapsed in the arms of a Starfleet officer

San Francisco | Scott McKenzie- Jim exploring Starfleet Academy in his first week there

Mambo No.5 | Lou Bega- Jim having fun 😉

Golden | Harry Styles- This is the most shippy this is going to get, but only because this is in every timeline for all of my ships. It's Jim and Bones friendship during the academy years, how they're the only people that truly understand each other. But it's also Bones developing a crush on Jimmy boy, this also contains an "I'll patch you up after a bar fight but you're going to get flirty scolding too scene"

I Love to Boogie | T Rex- Just Jim and Bones drunk off their tits dancing once exams are over

Honky Cat | Elton John- I just need Jim getting ready for the day to this song, it's a great montage song

Let Us Adore You | Steven Universe the Movie- This just makes me think of the Admirals loving Jim when the 5 year mission starts because he's living up to his father, finally

Space Oddity | David Bowie- I imagine that Ambassador Spock left Spock a load of Old Earth pop culture things he found, one of them is this song. So he and Jim listen on the observation deck with the gravity off

Escapism | Steven Universe- This is inspires a scene in a fanfiction I'm currently drafting, so no spoilers 😉

And now some non-shippy Jim vibes!

Sexyback | Justin Timberlake- Do you need an explanation?

I'm Too Sexy | Right Said Fred- See above comment (also the video I put in was by Putnik68)

Cut to the Chase | Rush- Jim training, maybe anti gravity training or with new tech

Love Like You | Steven Universe- Self-esteem issues with Leonard and Spock but they all think this about themselves and the others

Other Friends | Steven Universe Movie- Mirror!Kirk, maybe he finds some of his officers have joined the resistance?

Here Comes a Thought | Steven Universe- Anxiety and feelings ☹

7 Rings | Ariana Grande- Just imagine the main 7 being sassy to this

Candyman | Christina Aguilera- Jim being sexy yet again, maybe some dancing too

Seaside Rendezvous | Queen- This song is a bop but full of crack, they probably just sing this after too much wine, or fruit cocktails for Spock

Strangers | Taemin- Just undercover spy vibes

What do you think of my choices? Do you have any songs that scream Jim? I hope you enjoyed listening to this, I'll probably do Spock next because, trust me, Bones has many many songs in his playlist!

I made character playlists for some of the Lego Monkie Kid characters! If you’re interested, they’re linked down below :)

* MK:

* Mei:

* Red Son:

* Sun Wukong:

* Macaque:

* Chang’e:

Headcannon (that no one, and I mean no one, can convince me otherwise):

Geto Suguru is an avid listener of keshi.

and I will elaborate. but the playlists get more soul destroying as we go, you’ve been warned :)))

Could all be taken as part of the main cannon, but also just his character in general, STSG-coded (it is physically impossible for me to avoid and I don’t even want to avoid it), etc.

★ ★ ★ - spicy

- ANGOSTURA

- SOMEBODY

- KISS ME RIGHT

- Say

- beside you

- Like That

- TOUCH

- GET IT (cult leader Geto, anyone?)

(Pls these are all so him and all so hot^)

♡ ♡ ♡ - fluffy

- UNDERSTAND (especially stsg coded goodbye they literally were the only people who ever truly got each other.)

- Soft Spot

- War With Heaven (touch of angst when you think about it ahem so don’t. It’s actually so deep I could make a whole post on that itSELF)

✧ ✧ ✧ - existential but there’s hope

- LIMBO

- Just to Die

- i swear i’ll never leave again

- Forever (don’t think about it too hard tho or it becomes sad immediately)

˙◠˙ ˙◠˙ ˙◠˙ - existential but losing his shit (hidden inventory/premature death arc go extra crazy)

- Requiem

- Id

- Amen

- HELL/HEAVEN

- drunk

- blue

- atlas

- skeletons

;-; ;-; ;-; - kfc trauma

- war

- us

- ANGEL (please don’t think about this from Gojo’s POV unless you don’t love yourself today.)

BONUS:

- GET IT

- Absolutely would’ve been in their shared Pre-Mission Hype Playlist

- GABRIEL

- Chapter 236. GoodBYE.

- ^^ Requiem could also apply I’m gone.

*Though these songs aren’t restricted to stsg dynamic alone, I feel like Satoru relates to a LOT of these/can be taken as seeing from his POV

- ^^ Suguru tortured himself by adding it to the playlist anyway :)))

I feel like this started out more organized than it became, but I’m on 1.5 hrs sleep!!! I just needed it out of my brain and into the world!!!

I have an ongoing Kagehina playlist with @jetjaw and I feel no one has ever been as correct in song choices for them as us, but I can’t talk about it without ruining my long term schemes to trick the entire fandom into agreeing with them via numerous online personas and several kagehina themed projects. So I’m having really normal thoughts about that right now…

Anyway! We all know how this relates I presume.

my Apollo playlist! It's half songs I think actually fit him and half girly pop I think he'd be blasting in the sun chariot.

i wanna share some of my ace attorney spotify playlists so aaaaa !!! beware of some overlap on the Miles & NaruMitsu ones by reason of Obvious. They'll all get longer as time goes on.

Matt Engarde playlist, 5hrs

Miles Edgeworth playlist, 2.5 hrs

NaruMitsu playlist, 4 hrs

shark tank idea: annotated playlists.

perfect for yearning girlies that want to note exactly how that specific boygenius song reminds them of that one time their crush tucked their hair behind their ear.

perfect for nerds making playlists for their oc’s and want to share why the lyrics “roundabouts and washing lines/we do each others laundry in our hearts sometimes” perfectly encapsulates their character’s love interest.

anyway i am not taking criticism, open to offers from spotify or multimillion dollar app developers.

I'm still polishing up a few bits and bobs to give to you guys as a sort of proof of concept,, buuuut! I have made a turbo playlist, it's a bit short and it's still a work in progress but I hope you guys enjoy it!!

[or, that time I spent almost nine months perfecting a self-indulgent playlist for the morally grey space lizard. if anyone checks it out i hope u like it aough <3]

▶︎ a very good tailor [1h41m – on spotify]

♦︎ fave lyrics under the cut ♦︎

Killer Queen – Queen gunpowder, gelatin / dynamite with a laser beam / guaranteed to blow your mind

Karen by Night – Jill Sobule I overheard Karen whisper on the phone / she said, "meet me at the club, there's a shipment coming in / and I can't pull this one off alone"

Snake – Halflives I'll twist the knife and leave you with a vicious ache / I won't blink, I won't shake, no / because baby I'm a snake

Dangerous – Son Lux are you dangerous? found your way to my bed / spend fewer nights with the living then I do with the dead // are you dangerous? carved right into my head / quick lobotomy, then left me for dead

Ghosts of Utopia – IAMX you're the conquered stars, the divided heart / you are the ghosts of Utopia / you're the miracle of America

Government Hooker – Lady Gaga I could be girl (unless you want to be man) / I could be sex (unless you want to hold hands) / I could be anything, I could be everything

Symphony for a Spider Plant – Mort Garson [INTSRUMENTAL]

I Think I’m Going To Kill Myself – Elton John I think I'm gonna kill myself / cause a little suicide / stick around for a couple of days / what a scandal if I died!

Heroin – Lana Del Rey I'm flyin' to the moon again, dreamin' about marzipan / taking all my medicine to take my thoughts away

Mosquito – Model/Actriz down the mirrored halls / wearing cuffs with insignias gleaming / with a body count, higher than a mosquito / with a body count, higher than a mosquito

Faggot – Mindless Self Indulgence dig me now and fuck me later / and sing it to the tune of "faggot, faggot, faggot"

Terrible Things – Brick + Mortar sometimes I think of doing terrible things / I know I shouldn't think it but I do anyway

Before the Line – dodie now every morning since the line between my lives / I greet the sun, and ask, "have I already died? / If not then why am I alone? / and when can I come home?"

Old Money – Lana Del Rey but if you send for me, you know I'll come / and if you call for me, you know I'll run // If you change your mind, I'll come, come, come

Everybody Wants To Rule The World – Tears For Fears all for freedom and for pleasure / nothing ever lasts forever / everybody wants to rule the world

Snakeskin – Rina Sawayama buy my expensive, exclusive, pain wear / my fine couture is your branded repayment // like a snakeskin, like a snakeskin / wear me out and tear me down like

Me and the Devil – Gil Scott–Heron early this morning when you knocked upon my door / and I say: hello Satan, I believe, it's time to go

Maybe This Time – Liza Minnelli (Cabaret) something's bound to begin / It's gotta happen, happen sometime / maybe this time / maybe this time I'll win
