29. Nancy Wheeler
She won’t actually start a band but any AI chatbot can tell you that if there’s a “Stranger Things” set in the ‘90s, Nancy writes for Rolling Stone.
28. Karen Wheeler
There is a level of groupie where you’re almost part of the band. Karen is going to be in a lot of bands.
27. Mayor Larry Kline
A career politician has to know which way the wind is blowing. By 1991 Mayor Kline will realize that Reagan ‘80’s excess is out and grunge is in, so he’ll trade up his cigar and suspenders for a flannel-lined working man’s jacket and an appreciation for what the young people are listening to. Once he sees Clinton jamming out on Arsenio, he’ll get the bright idea to start a band.
26. Erica Sinclair
Erica is all about making money, and when she sees how lucrative drop-D tuning and distortion can be she’ll either try to start her own grunge band or worse, manage one. Both options are a solid avenue to the hard stuff.
25. Vecna
He’s already basically a grunge album cover.
24. Bruce
Hopefully the grunge movement will chew him up and spit him out before Dave Mathew’s “Under The Table and Dreaming” comes out and makes him even worse.
23. Vickie
It’s eleven years away, but Vickie already has tickets to Lilith Fair.
22. Doris Driscoll
After the mind flayer turns her veins black and morphs her into goo Doris will go on to be the must-have actress in ‘90’s grunge videos.
21. Patrick McKinney
If you came from an abusive home in the ‘80s and drank in high school, “Spoonman” just spoke to you. No one knows why.
