From Stanley's love of Bloodwitch to iconic bangers from Roxy Music, Bonnie Tyler and Rick Springfield, here's every song from I Am Not Okay With This season 1.
A new Netflix teen series from the creators of Stranger Things and The End of the F***ing World? Sign me up! I Am Not Okay With This follows Sydney, a self-described “boring 17-year-old white girl,” on a journey of friendship, romance, discovery and uhhh, superpowers. You know, the usual teen stuff.
Sydney is played by Sophia Lillis, who you'll know as IT's Beverly Marsh alongside Wyatt Oleff (who plays Stanley on the show, and who also played Stanley in IT.)
The show, which is based on Charles Forsman's graphic novel, was co-created by Jonathan Entwistle, the same guy who brought TEOTFW to our screens. TEOTFW's Graham Coxon also did the music, which is why certain parts of the soundtrack, and the general vibe of the show, will feel so familiar to you.
From Stanley's love of Bloodwitch to iconic bangers from '80s bands, such as Roxy Music and Roxette, and icons like Bonnie Tyler and Rick Springfield, here's the complete list of every song featured in season 1 of I Am Not Okay With This.
