im in a stranger things character music mood so here are some artists each character for sure likes
will: super obvious but the clash, the cure, david bowie, billy idol, the police, talking heads, etc. (i feel like this is a very basic answer but its the truth)
mike: he is so 90s so weezer, oasis, radiohead, etc (i already made a post abt this)
dustin: hall&oats, tears for fears, wham!, KISS, TOTO, a-ha, michael jackson, duran duran, baltimora
lucas: idky the first thing i thought of was bananarama but he would so love bananarama. beegees, michael jackson, earth wind & fire, jackson 5, stevie wonder, george michael, prince, idk
el: i dont think she really has time to listen to music but she would like popular 80s pop. like cyndi lauper, madonna, wham!, electric light orchestra, kim wilde, stacey q, the gogos, tiffany, soft cell, reo speedwagon, abba, bonnie tyler
max: kate bush obviously, blondie, duran duran, bon jovi, pixies, soft cell, tears for fears, rick springfield, no doubt, billy idol, pat benatar, tiffany, joan jett, etc
max and el are similar but el's is more 'listening to music for the first ever time' vibes while max is more lived in
jonathan: talking heads, the ramones, the clash, bowie, duran duran but only girls on film, the cramps, depeche mode, R.E.M., phil collins, the kinks, the animals, billy idol, the cure, the cars, blue oyster cult, jimi hendrix, styx, pixies, pink floyd, cheap trick, genesis, ozzy osbourne, foreigner, etc. i could go on and on. i think there would be a little more 60s and 70s in here too.
nancy: madonna, heart, reo speedwagon, billy joel, roxy music, cyndi lauper, joan jett, pat benatar, hall & oats, blondie, kim wilde, whitney houston, kate bush, tiffany, wham!, soft cell, bananarama, bonnie tyler, stacey q, lita ford, the bangles, cher, pet shop boys, john mellencamp, paula abdul, u2, olivia newton john, etc
steve: bon jovi, survivor, journey, boston, yes, DEVO, dead or alive, eddie money, kansas, foreigner, scorpions, warrant, etc. basically just basic (but good) bands that make him feel like a badass LMAO
robin: idk, just a slightly dorkier version of nancys playlist if that makes sense. i can envision it in my head i just cant execute it
joyce: heart, fleetwood mac, the mamas & the papas, journey, foreigner, boston, tom petty, toto, guns n roses, janis joplin, the rolling stones, jimi hendrix, blue oyster cult, ELO, led zeppelin, grateful dead, pink floyd, jefferson airplane
hopper: bad company, joe cocker, bob seger, eagles, the cars, jefferson starship, bob dylan, journey, styx, johnny cash, bruce springsteen
i could probably add so many more artists but it would probably go off the rails so i just gave u the basic ones
also i was looking at character playlists on spotify and most of them sucked (steve harrington is not listening to mitski) so heres some inspo for actual music they would listen to if you want to make a more accurate playlist

Ok! As has been asked for, some Hawkins UD apocalypse au
(This is just general info, I’ll elaborate on individuals later)
- The apocalypse lasted about 3 and a half years, the upside-own bleeding into Hawkins’s more and more every day
- The schools shut down about 2 months into it
- The gov started to evacuate people after the week school closes (when the ud started really invading Hawkins)
- 3 months and everyone is gone accept the people who know about the Ud
Adults: Hopper, Joyce, Karen, Murray, Mrs. Henderson
Young adults: Steve, Robin, Jon, Nancy
Kids: Will, Mike, El, Dustin
- Some leave and move to the next town over
- Mrs. & Mr. Sinclair, Erica, Lucas, Max, Argyle, Vickie
(Max needs a good hospital outside of Hawkins, and gets transferred there)
- Lucas, Erica, Argyle, & sometimes Vickie drive to Hawkins every weekend & just when they can to help prep and bring extra rations in for their friends (against their parents will)
- Argyle takes up a job to support everyone and pay for stuff (and uses some of Steve’s money)
- Ted ends up leaving with their youngest
- As a result Lucas stoped playing basketball for the time being
- They stay at Steve’s house (home base)
Steve and Robin share his room (Vickie shares when she comes over)
Dustin and El have the master (Lucas and Erica share when they come over)
Argyle sleeps on the couch of the Byers house when he comes over (foster child energy)
Murray, Karen, & Mrs. Henderson all have their own guest rooms
- And the Byers old house (close to it)
Hopper and Joyce share
Nancy and Jon share
Will & Mike Share
- They all snuggle to make the nightmares go away
- Two people are awake at all times
- They can’t tell what time it is anymore unless they use a clock
- Almost everyone moves around sleeping arrangements, none are set in stone
- They have rlly nice radios that they talk with eachother through (supplied by the government)
- Supply runs every couple of days (2 or more ppl)
- They have bases all around the town
The ships would be
Byler, Elumax, Jancy, Rockie (I think that’s what they’re called), Jopper, & maybe some Duzi
(Also highly tempted to include Dustin in elumax bc Henderhop and Henderclair are so fucking adorable)
