The Stranger Things theme was composed by Michael Stein and Kyle Dixon of the synth duo Survive, and it has opened the show since its Netflix debut in 2016. The Duffer Brothers' sci-fi series became a streaming phenomenon, and its music is as recognisable as the Upside Down itself. Season 5, the show's final season, aired in 2025, and fans quickly ripped its end credits music for edits and tribute videos. The clip endures because that slow synth fade instantly signals something big has just ended.
About this sound
The end credits music from Netflix's Stranger Things Season 5, a moody synth excerpt of the show's iconic theme. Ideal for video outros and fan edits.
This is the end credits music from Stranger Things Season 5, Netflix's hit sci-fi series. The short clip carries the show's unmistakable synth theme, built on pulsing bass arpeggios, shimmering pads and a faint sense of dread that fades out like the lights going down after a finale. It sounds like the aftermath of a Hawkins battle: tense, nostalgic and quietly dramatic. Creators drop it at the end of videos to give an edit weight and finality, the way the show gives its episodes one last cinematic breath before the screen cuts to black.
