Structure: A-B-A-C (main theme / development / reprise / climactic bridge/outro)
Summary:
"Stranger Things" evokes 1980s synthwave and suspenseful TV-theme territory — moody minor-key harmonies, pulsing arpeggiated synth lines, warm analog pads and a prominent synth bass with punchy electronic drums (gated reverb feel). Tempo around 90–110 BPM (100 BPM is a solid center) in 4/4 supports steady, driving pulses and creeping suspense. Instrumentation should emphasize vintage-model synth textures (Juno/Prophet-style pads and leads, sequenced arps), a fat monophonic synth bass, drum-machine kits with roomy snare reverb, occasional reverb-drenched electric guitar accents and atmospheric FX to build tension. Structure as A-B-A-C fits a theme-driven piece: state the main motif, develop/contrast it, return to the motif, then move into a climactic bridge/outro.
