20 ‘Stranger Things’ Memes That Fans Will Love

Stranger Things has been a massive hit for Netflix over the past few years. The science fiction series harks back to 80s classics like E.T. and the writing of Stephen King. Set in a small rural town, the show centers on a group of kids who get caught up in a wide-ranging conspiracy. The Netflix series includes elements of the supernatural and paranormal and shady government operatives. It has become a pop culture phenomenon and one of Netflix’s most watched shows. It’s also produced some incredible Stranger Things memes.

Like anything that crosses over into the mainstream, Stranger Things has gotten the meme treatment since it debuted. These memes cover all seasons of the show and reference the main characters and plot points.

Part one of the fourth season has just hit Netflix so to celebrate, here are 20 Stranger Things memes to get you in the mood to watch.
