Spotify Tells You Which Song Would Save You From Vecna in Stranger Things
As fans around the world get excited for season four of Stranger Things, Spotify has launched a new feature that helps you combat the evil spirit Vecna with music.
Spotify describes its feature as: “A fun way to discover what Spotify songs would save you from the Mind Flayer’s grasp or which track is your best weapon against the beasts of the Upside Down.”
In one of the season’s most memorable scenes, the character Dustin uses a Paia Theremax synthesizer to call his girlfriend Suzie, in order to save his friends from the invading Mind Flayer, an eldritch entity that possesses and controls the inhabitants of the Upside Down.
To invoke this scene in the real world, Spotify has created a feature that lets users input their name and generates personalized playlists based on their musical taste. The playlists are intended to be a helpful tool for defeating the monsters of the fictional universe of Stranger Things.
But what exactly is Vecna, and why is Spotify suggesting its songs for the task?
Vecna is an ancient evil spirit and a powerful sorcerer that is rumored to have been defeated by a group of heroes long ago, only to rise again millennia later to wreak havoc on the world. In the show, we see the characters use a range of weapons and techniques to defeat the creature, but the true power of music is something that is often overlooked in the battle against darkness.
With Spotify’s new feature, we can explore which songs would provide the best hope of survival in a world terrorized by Vecna, what tracks could give us the strength to fight back, and ultimately, which tracks could save us from the clutches of the evil sorcerer.
To get started, head over to the Spotify landing page for Stranger Things, enter your name and select your mood, and let the feature do the rest. With a curated playlist of songs that span multiple genres and styles, you’ll be well on your way to surviving whatever chaos the world of the Upside Down throws your way.
From classic rock and classic death metal, to pop music and modern R&B, Spotify’s Stranger Things playlists will help you battle your way through the dark and twisted landscape of the show, and return victorious to the bright, sunny world of everyday life.
