Ode to Gen X : Institutional Cynicism in Stranger Things and 1980s Film /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

This text explores the parallels between iconic films featuring children and teenagers and the first three seasons of Stranger Things. The text moves beyond the, at times, non-sequitur 1980s Easter eggs to a common underlying narrative: Generation X's growing distrust in American institutions.
