The 'Make It Stranger' meme is inspired by the iconic opening credits of the Netflix series Stranger Things, characterized by its glowing red ITC Benguiat typeface and synth-heavy 80s aesthetic. Initially gaining traction shortly after the show's debut in 2016, the design became a cultural phenomenon as fans began using online generators to swap the show's title for humorous or relatable phrases. The meme's appeal lies in its high-contrast, nostalgic look that instantly evokes a sense of mystery and supernatural intrigue. It is widely used to dramatize everyday situations or to pay homage to the retro-horror genre by transforming simple text into a cinematic masterpiece.
