The Iron Man movies hit you differently when you revisit them after all these years.

Netflix 's Stranger Things has taught the new generation to love rock classics, with the horror series bringing 80s icons like Kate Bush, The Clash, Metallica, and many others back into the modern charts like it's no big deal.

Basically, each season of Stranger Things has its own "main" soundtrack. For season one, for example, it was The Clash's Should I Stay Or Should I Go, the song that brought Jonathan and his brother Will together.

Well, it looks like Marvel fans loved that song long before Stranger Things came out. You might be surprised to recall that this particular song was playing in Iron Man 2 when Tony came back from the opening ceremony, returned to his workshop and immediately turned on some good old beats.

"The paradoxical nature of being a nerd is when you're shaving and shaping up your Tony Stark goatee while listening to Should I Stay or Should I Go because you're on a Stranger Things kick and then remembering it was also in Iron Man 2 and having an existential crisis," Twitter user ChimeraFilms noted.

The first season of Stranger Things premiered on Netflix in 2016, bringing The Clash's hit back to our playlists, while Iron Man 2 hit theaters six years earlier.

With new projects making old classics popular again, the Iron Man soundtrack continues to deliver. Honestly, does any Avenger have better music taste than Tony Stark? We wonder what his song would be if he had to save himself from Vecna...
