2/1
I'm amazed that they exposed a zoomer audience to real music. Risky, but I guess they knew that they were too ideologically captured already to seek out more.
Zoomers ruined Kate Bush
inb4 "Running Up That Hill" was a hit in the US
Maybe if you were a clubbing gay person. Nobody in the US knew who she was. Don't even cope.
I'm sure she's crying all the way to the bank
lmaow Unc getting upset we appreciate his boomer beats more than he does.
Take the L gramps, the 80's is our culture now.
youtube.com
It peaked at the top 30 in the US, not a gigahit like it was in the UK but not too obscure either
Who is unc talking bout? It's Max's song ya regard
Ask ChatGPT what radio is retard.
Zoomer derangement syndrome
Nobody played Kate Bush on the radio in the US. She was a fucking nobody here!
im from greece and all 80s teen films usually feature a kate bush song, it was much easier for something big to become huge worldwide back then due to how the flow of new content was controlled via a bottleneck(djs radio producers record nerds tape sellers etc) its the reason why currently taytay is the biggest star in the world without anyone knowing any of her songs or how marshmallow someone who no one past the age of 24 has heard of has music videos with 1 billion views on youtube
Zoomers ruined everything.
Ok gayo lol
Nobody played Kate Bush on the radio in the US. She was a fucking nobody here!
Ok, Robbie.
Video got a ton of airplay on Mtv. I knew the song as an 8 year old in that time period, just didn't know the title/singer.
I lived in a small nowhere town in 80s Colorado and I had her entire album collection, you daft fuck. FM radio signal range and other family members who first loaned me her music.
Will 2025 be the year of Sadie?
She's not like the other girls.
Yeah she's going to be playing Mary Jane soon
Hope she shows her little floppies and grows some armpit or leg hair.
the sexy Mary Jane
played by this hideous beast
that reciding hairline
that giant block head
that flat chest
those flabby arms
that fat stoner stomach
RUTH peaked at 30 on US Billboard in 1985
video widely circulated on various cable outlets like MTV
making a pilgrimage to city records stores was a small town ritual for outsider rural kids
I hate how millennial/zoomers know nothing about pre-1990s life.
The problem is we already got the definitively perfect live action Mary Jane decades ago
What are the chances that a teenage girl from 80's smalltown Indiana would listen to Kate Bush let alone know who she is?
About the same chance of a Nigerian being into heavy metal, which I am. Everyone has a thing that is "rare" among their ilk.

S01 was set in the year of 1983. The kids had a 'The thing' poster in their rooms. Every one knows that 'The thing' got recognition due to constant TV re-runs and home media.
It was overlooked by audience and the critics alike during its original run. This one and 'blade runner' got clobbered by 'E.T'.
There is no way kids from small town would have a poster of 'The thing' just after a year of its release.
All the pop culture elements on that tv show are the cream of the crop ones. The had longevity and remembered now.
The duffer bros took elements which are recognized now and tried to put them in an earlier time just to grab your attention like some kind of fan-service.
Devin Faraci was right about 'stranger things'. Only thing worse than nostalgia is 'manufactured nostalgia'.
Is this another Robbie Williams situations where americans pretend they don't know who a huge pop star is?
I will say, GOOGLE GEMINI is a pretty decent GEO-GUESSER tool.
In case you want to visit the location of the "IT'S A FINE DAY" video.
1% probability.
Every one knows that 'The thing' got recognition due to constant TV re-runs and home media.
Gayest possible take. "The Thing" first became a cult hit after its VHS release in 1982. It's even period consistent that an S01 kid could've gotten ahold of the video release poster after the store discarded it. You know nothing of the era.
Kate Bush was massive. Why make threads making false presuppositions?
None. She would be listening to Jiggaboo Jackson.
She's has always been a niche, avant-garde artiste outside of Britain. Only serious music listeners would know about her now.
Max was a patrician. One of the cassettes she had was Heroes by Bowie
no one knew this song until Meg Myers did the best cover of running up that hill then faded back into obscurity
All the songs you heard in this show were big hits in the 80s. If you don't know them, you're only outing yourself as a zoomer or having lived under a rock.
That song already had a second wind of popularity thanks to the tumblr/fanvideos/fanmixes scene of the late 00s-early 2010s
She's the 80s version of Robbie Williams. Is that your implication?
Same with Jonathan having an Evil Dead poster. No one knew what that was in 1982
i want to sadie sink my dick into her pusy
I always thought this was original youtube.com
90's music was like a remixed decade.
post that webm. you know the one.
I'm sure Max is a huge fan of bush
Thats weird because none of the clothes and furniture is contemporary its all like 50s to 70s leftovers
Thanks for taking a break from spam emailing to enlighten us with your negro wisdom
from 80's smalltown Indiana
she's from California you dumbfuck
There are plenty of zoomoids who listen to and pretend to like old music because they think it makes them different and quirky. Look up any popular track on Jewtube and you'll find comments along the lines of "OMG I'm 15 and I absolutely LOVE Billy Joel" or whoever the fuck. Even stuff from the fucking 50s and 60s, let alone the 80s.
when that episode came out i was a high-schooler and now i am going into college
people can't possibly like classics
Got you senpai
It's not a matter of liking or not liking, anon. Small town radio stations only played hits. She'd likely never even have heard it.
no, he's right. every era of pop culture exists for the teenagers of that time period. people from other generations can't possibly relate to it because there isn't actually anything to relate to outside of the specific culture of that time. nobody born after probably 1972 is going to "connect" with, say, the breakfast club. you literally won't "get it" if you weren't a kid when it came out.
It only annoys me because it means Kate now has so much money she will never do another concert. Also running up that hill is the worst of her hits.
yeah totally, when i hear the beetles, the stones, the doors, the cars i just start pissing and shitting out of confusion and anger.
you don't want to know what happens when i watch the original star wars.
no anal
that's not the one
Without having watched stranger things I guarantee there are hundreds of anachronisms.
you don't want to know what happens when i watch the original star wars.
I mean I kinda do now
Anon... I think you might be mentally damaged. Yeah, pretty much everyone can relate to things from outside of their childhood.
Kate now has so much money she will never do another concert
She hasn't really been performing since around the time 50 Words for Snow came out anyway. She's always had that semi-reclusive streak
Do you guys just sit with static in your brain when you hear classical music or something?
NO I you can't possibly appreciate the 1812 oveture! You weren't a 19th century russian artilleryman!!!
YOU are the one trying to look different and unique, desperately holding on to 'your' childhood because you have a weak sense of self (notice how its americans who obsess over this birth decade stuff - no identity)
That's my point, the only hope was her needing money
Way to misunderstand what OP was saying retard. The film is set in the 80s, its contemporary music.
You just need to go and unleash termites on her house or something
