The Gross Mischaracterisation Of Steve Harrington's Music Taste Is An Unbearable Crime Goddamnit, This

the gross mischaracterisation of Steve Harrington's music taste is an unbearable crime goddamnit, this man has never even heard a pop song in his life! All the music he plays is either rock, new wave or indie music, we see this at his party and so the music playing in his car (which you can find lists of on what-song and similar sites).

someone on reddit noticed Steve is also wearing an outfit identical to one Freddie Mercury wore the same year season 4 is set. In fact, Steve regularly dresses similarly to Freddie Mercury, the more I look the more I see there's definitely influences of Freddie's casual fashion (not his show looks) in Steve's style; some of them, like the yellow jumper look the redditor noticed, are almost like for like. Why is this unusual? Maybe because Queen had tanked in America at the time, America's radio stations found them insulting in fact, so it's a big deal that Steve had Queen playing in his car, it means it wasn't on the radio by chance... he owned a copy himself

I'll have to rewatch but I'm pretty sure the only times Steve has mainstream 80s disco, dance or synth pop anywhere near him it's either someone else's party he's a guest at, and therefore has no say in the music, or he's referencing it to make fun of it (ie Tammy Thompson, and even then it was still pop rock).

Steve is a rock, by the looks of it mostly British bands too, I wouldn't be surprised if he knows The Clash just as well as Jonathan does and it's time people realize that and respect it

(edit: my dumbass misread post-punk as punk, feel free to throw rocks)

Stop making his Vecna songs disco, synth pop music and make it something he's actually shown to listen to

steve wearing eddie’s jacket means nothing. friends and siblings borrow and steal clothes all the time. but robin wore nancy’s fucking bra. you do not borrow a bra from just a friend

hate whenever mfs in horror media are like “what was that noise…” bro you and i both know its creatures

Steve no bitches Harrington please end the show with no bitches. Like I dunno I just like to hang out with my ex girlfriend and her new boyfriend. And my gay best friend. And this weird child. This is the perfect Steve 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

How am I only just learning this!?

Shippers are so wild that they'll hear a character clearly screaming Steve's name and convince themselves it's someone screaming Mike's name. ST ships all suck sorry...
