I got Mike too. I guess I haven’t listened to music from when I was younger since every song they played while the girls were at the mall was all I listened to.
I got Dustin as well but I don't understand it because a lot of the music on the playlist doesn't resonate with my taste. They're classics that I feel like everyone likes, but not songs I had saved or anything.
I also got Dustin and had the same reaction, but re-read the description and sounds like the songs are just music from the show. Only the picture is based on your own music. Which feels kind of pointless but anyways.
yeah it's super weird, i guess they just thought people would like the novelty of it. dustin is by far one of my least favorite characters who i do not relate to in any way shape or form. i would've expected to get robin or jonathan just based on their alternative interests and the music we hear them listening to throughout the show.
I think it’s all the same ‘Stranger Things Playlist’ with songs from the show, but your algorithm organizes it differently based on your music taste and then the picture goes with how your playlist gets organized, or it’s just random nonsense hahah
I also got Erica and mostly listen to post hardcore and emo music so im not sure wtf is going on with this it certainly isnt matching specific music tastes like it says it is
Me too, which didn’t make sense to me at first. But I think if I consider Erica’s intelligent bossy diva energy, it makes sense that she might vibe with the music I listen to. I love Chappell Roan but I also love Midwest emo, 90s/early 2000s rock like System of a Down and Rage Against the Machine would one could argue has that Erica energy.
When they did themed playlists awhile back (mixtapes?) I got Jonathan but I think a lot of that one was more algorithmic and we just have similar music taste. This one feels more like a randomized “alternate covers” type vibe
Edit: actually looks like these are supposed to match your music taste too. My Jonathan one just felt more “on” 🤷🏻♀️
It's very confusing because my music taste definitely matches Jonathan well, and I think I have some overlapping tastes with Robin as well - but I got Dustin. What does he even listen to?
Yes! They did character playlists around season 2 and had “Upside Down Mode” where the screen would darken with those little specks floating and a flashlight was the track timer. I’m glad they brought back something cute like that with the demogorgon!
Lmao so my thought process was this - I’ve known for years that Finn Wolfhard and I have very similar music taste so when I saw his face on my playlist I was like oh yeah duh but then I remembered its MIKE not Finn and wondered where they even got that from or what it means-
Honestly think it’s mostly created by AI which is, well, boring. I got Lucas and I do not see him listening to the classical music or Madonna that’s on the list lol
I got Mike and they couldn't be more wrong. The only band in my playlist I'd listen to is Metallica and even that isn't exactly the band I'd go for. I think Eddie (if even possible) would suit my style the most
I got Mike! He’s not my favorite, not that he’s bad but I’m guessing it’s because I listen to quite a bit of indie, alt rock, and singer-songwriter, and oldies

I got Mike but Spotify is trolling me because I should’ve gotten Will.
I have Mike too... I wanted El or Max or even Nancy 😭😭
Edit to add: or Robin too of course
Same here! I don't know how or why I got Mike, wish there was a better explanation 🙈 and wish I could see the others playlists..
Edit: my fiancé got Nancy!!! Guess I'm (28f) my fiancé (29m) little brother??
I got Mike too. I guess I haven’t listened to music from when I was younger since every song they played while the girls were at the mall was all I listened to.
Hey Mike, I got Will 💙💛😂
Byler confirmed
Same. Like, how? Literally any other character I would have understood but Mike? MIKE?!
Dustin!
Me too! But my husband and I share a Spotify account and I can’t tell which of us is the Dustin.
Toothless gang!
Also got Dustin! Hellfire Club lives, baby!
Team Dusty Bun <3
Dusty Bun gang rise up
I got Dustin as well but I don't understand it because a lot of the music on the playlist doesn't resonate with my taste. They're classics that I feel like everyone likes, but not songs I had saved or anything.

I got Nancy!
Me too, I’m happy bc she’s one of my favorite characters
I got Nancy too, but no idea what that means regarding what kind of music I'm listening to ?
I got Nancy too, playlist is full of classic rock :)
Mine is a bunch of reggaeton so Nancy must have very eclectic tastes lol
Loool imagining nancy bumping some Bad Bunny 🤣💀
Oh he’d be her favorite (as he is mine) for sure 🤣
Me too!
Me too.
sameee
me tooooo im so happy i love herrr
Yayaya same
Yay
Same!
Me too!
Me too!
Me too!
Same lol even though I listen to mostly anime music
so did i!
Erica. Which is fine, I guess.
Listen to a lot of Taylor swift/sabrina carpenter/ pop music? Bc same
I got Erica too and listen to none of that. I actually listen to mostly classic rock!
I also got Erica and mostly listen to post hardcore and emo music so im not sure wtf is going on with this it certainly isnt matching specific music tastes like it says it is
I got Erica and I love alternative rock, punk, riot Grrl and Pop music. Who knows? 🤷♀️
I got Erica and I listen to 40s and 50s music lots of big band and doo-wop music. So I don’t know how that algorithm works.
Haha same, every genre in the Erica thread I listen to
My top genre this year was folk so idfk how they're doing it
Erica likes all music, as long as it's American
This has to just be random assignment haha I am a pop girlie through and through
No but I listen to the wiggles basically 24/7 because my small children have access to my Spotify
Wait you’re onto something here, my small children are big fans of Disney music. Maybe children’s music is the through line here hahah
I listen to none of that lol..I listen to hip hop and rock/folk rock/indie rock. Erica is a woman of taste though apparently, loves it all!
Your genres seem to line up with mine, add some punk to the mix, and I got Erica too. That just tells us that we, and Erica, have exquisite taste!
I listen to a lot of Tay and Sab, like A LOT, but I got Mike lol
It’s the Wild West out here
I listen to that but I got Will lol
i listen to Taylor/Pop and I got Lucas so I'm super confused
fine, you guess? She is the most divalicious diva on the show
Me too, which didn’t make sense to me at first. But I think if I consider Erica’s intelligent bossy diva energy, it makes sense that she might vibe with the music I listen to. I love Chappell Roan but I also love Midwest emo, 90s/early 2000s rock like System of a Down and Rage Against the Machine would one could argue has that Erica energy.
I got Robin!
When they did themed playlists awhile back (mixtapes?) I got Jonathan but I think a lot of that one was more algorithmic and we just have similar music taste. This one feels more like a randomized “alternate covers” type vibe

It's very confusing because my music taste definitely matches Jonathan well, and I think I have some overlapping tastes with Robin as well - but I got Dustin. What does he even listen to?
Same! I already had 16 of the playlist's songs in my Liked songs
Yay, I am also a member of the ADHD queerdo club!!!
I’m very sad I didn’t get Robin. 🥲 I want to know the logic behind the character music choices but I can’t find any.
I got Robin because I saved Toto by Africa I guess. How do they decide this?
It’s bugging me too. I need to know. Also: surely that’s a Nancy & Steve song no?
I also have this song saved and got Nancy
I got Robin too, as a very autistic queer person I feel like I’ve won the world 😂
There are dozens of us!
As a fellow autistic queer, I salute our Queen. Go Rockin’ Robin!
Sameee...twinsiesss
Me toooo!!!!!!
I got Jonathan!
Clash lovers unite, I guess?
I listen to bit of melancholy rock and Jonathan holds true I guess!
Me too!
The little demogorgon icon on the track timer is so cute!
Yes! They did character playlists around season 2 and had “Upside Down Mode” where the screen would darken with those little specks floating and a flashlight was the track timer. I’m glad they brought back something cute like that with the demogorgon!
Oh my gosh! I remember this! It was really cute!
Ahaha, just went to have a look, it really is!
OMG!
steve!
the babysitter’s club 🫶🏼
Me too!
Steve!
Me too!!!
Steve gang!
STEVE GANG UNITE 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
Eleven :)
Deftones, Alcest, Tool, Autumn Nostalgie, Nightwish top 5 bands for reference lol.
Eleven too.
There is definitely a rock/metal connection going on.
100%! I got Eleven and I basically only listen to metal (specially power and death metal).
Fellow eleven! a lot of metal and rock!
I listen to rock/metal as well and got Eleven! How do you know what it used as a reference though?
Hey metal gang, we solved the case! (I also exclusively listen to metal and ended up with Eleven)
A shame we don't have Eddie this season!
Agreed.
I also wonder what musical preference gets someone Hoppers list.
🎶 you don't pull on superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind 🎶
It mentions it uses your musical taste. And those 5 are my top 5 bands from Spotify wrapped.
Really? Fuck yeah!
I got Mike
Same
Yep
Dusty Bun! Yay
Erica, now eat your damn pie
Genuinely thought this was an amazing scene. It was really funny for my family idk.
Derek laughing at his father that’s collapsed lives rent free in my head I love it
You can't spell America without Erica
How you do this
Edit: Nevermind I found it... I thought it was going to be like the Upside Down playlist which was really cool.
Search Stranger things on Spotify and click on the official playlist
Thank you!!! I was like, how are people doing this?!?! What am I missing???
Lucas crew!
Same here!!!
I got Mike. So we can all assume Mike would like jpop.
I got Mike and my top genres are metalcore and alt rock 😭 Mike must be polyjamorous
I think we should have gotten Eddie😂
i’m also a kpop + jpop listener who got mike
Same!
Also got Mike and listen to jpop. It all makes sense now.
Erica, but given the amount of lesbians I listen to I feel like a mistake was made in not giving me Robin 😅
That’s where I’m at too. I think it might be my year long Lady Gaga obsession skewing things! 😆
I listen to a lot of lesbian artists too and got Lucas, soooo idk lol
I feel like I should have got Max the amount of times I’ve listened to Kate Bush. Did anyone get her?
Kate Bush was my top artist, but no. I got Lucas
In reality it should be her or Johnathan as I listen to a lot of the Smiths, Joy Division etc.
I got Mike, very expected
Wait I’m confused actually
What a turn of events so fast lol
Lmao so my thought process was this - I’ve known for years that Finn Wolfhard and I have very similar music taste so when I saw his face on my playlist I was like oh yeah duh but then I remembered its MIKE not Finn and wondered where they even got that from or what it means-

I got Mike and they couldn't be more wrong. The only band in my playlist I'd listen to is Metallica and even that isn't exactly the band I'd go for. I think Eddie (if even possible) would suit my style the most
Same, I figured it was a stretch for them to have Eddie, but that’s who I should have had
Will
I love him!
Erica, certified baddie of Hawkins
I got Dustin but I really should of gotten Jonathan or will tbh
I had Nancy first but now it has changed to Erica
I didn’t know it could change. That’s pretty cool
I got Mike, I wanted El... Guess I know how Will feels 🤭
I got Steve!
Steve !
I got Will!
To be honest, I had no clue that they even did this, I thought it was just Will for everyone
Mike, I love this
It changed for me. About a week ago I had Erica and now I have Mike 🤷
Jonathan 🤘
I got Dustin! A lot of the songs on this list are fitting lol
Nancy
Mike, my favorite
Times like this I wish had Spotify rather than Apple Music
Robin :)
Nancy
Will the wise!
Steve! Probably because Djo was one of my Spotify top artists! 😅
I got El
How do I access this?
NOT ME GETTING WILL WHEN MY TOP ARTIST THIS YEAR WAS GIRL IN RED 💀
I got Dustin, I listen to a lot of metal and punk so maybe that’s why? Eddie influence I guess
I do too, but I got Mike
I got Charles Leclerc
Plan C... no no Plan E
How to check?
mike!
i had mike at first and then it changed to lucas
Mike!!
Mike 🖤
Mike
I got Mike 🔥
Mike :)
I got mike
Johnathan
The G.O.A.T., Erika!
I didn't know Mike is a metalhead, I assume Eddie isn't in the mix otherwise anyone other than Eddie would've been wrong for me lol
exact same case for me here 😆
Dustin! I think I'd have preferred Eddie, but I totally get why I got Dustin.
Twenty One Pilots, lots of synthwave, lots of 80s and Queen, David Bowie, and Pink Floyd.
I got Mike, but I’m a metalhead. I was hoping to get Eddie.
I got mike
I got Lucas and the first song on the playlist is “Rockin Robin” 🙃
None because I don't use Spotify lol. Did anyone get Vecna/Henry?
Don't use Spotify.
i got steve. i really don’t like steve
I got Mike! He’s not my favorite, not that he’s bad but I’m guessing it’s because I listen to quite a bit of indie, alt rock, and singer-songwriter, and oldies
Eleven ❣️
I got Lucas 😌
I got Eleven ☺️
Man it’s in these moments I wish I had Spotify 😔
Nancy … wonder why no Steve 😫
Will
El
Eleven!!
Will! Yay!
Mike
Nancy I think. With the hairstyle kinda hard to see though.
Lucasssss :3
Rockin’ Robin
I got erica🤣
I got Erica !!😂💅
Erica! Love her!
I got Mike, although haven't listened to anything in the playlist lol
I got Erica! But I don't listen to any of the songs on the list.
Got Rockin' Robin
