This show was a great watch for me, and I think the typography and music were absolutely key in doing so. The entire feel of the show was a reminder of my youth, and I had a lot of fun with Stranger Things.
- mastazi 10y agoThe music reminds me of John Carpenter e.g. Escape from New York, Halloween etc.
- pluma 10y agoIt's an entire genre from the early 2000s called "synthwave" (or "retrowave"). The band that did the intro is called S U R V I V E, some other noteworthy bands are GUNSHIP and Kavinsky. They're heavily inspired by 80s movies, particularly John Carpenter's.
- res0nat0r 10y agoIt sounds like from all the talk I keep hearing about the intro is that people are discovering how much they like retrowave. There are tons of artists on Spotify/YouTube for this genre to check out too which is a good thing.
- mastazi 10y ago@pluma @res0nat0r thanks for that, I did not know that there was an entire genre. I'll definitely look into it!
- mastazi 10y agoThanks for the references! Nightcall by Kavinsky reminds me of Giorgio Moroder - or, transitively, Daft Punk's references to Giorgio Moroder :-)
