# Maxs Favorite Song Max's Favorite Song is a four-panel meme template from Stranger Things season 4, showing Sadie Sink's character Max being saved from the monster Vecna by hearing Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill." Twitter users started photoshopping different album covers over the cassette in June 2022 to declare what song would save them from demonic possession. ## Overview Max's Favorite Song is a four-panel image template pulled from the fourth season of Stranger Things, where the character Maxine "Max" Mayfield (Sadie Sink) breaks free from the monster Vecna's mental possession by listening to Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill"[1]. In the meme, users photoshop album covers or artwork over the cassette tape shown in the scene to declare what piece of music would save them from paranormal demonic possession[5]. The template shows Max looking possessed, headphones being placed on her ears, a close-up of the cassette selection, then Max snapping back to reality once the song plays. The joke works because the swapped-in song is treated as so beloved it could pull the poster out of a supernatural coma. Music fans hijacked the format almost immediately, though non-music variants followed within days[4]. ## How It Spread Within 48 hours of the mikescomfort post, fandom accounts across Twitter cloned the layout to promote favorite artists. On June 9, 2022, Halsey fan account @Halseysvh [3] used the format to spotlight the singer's newly released single "So Good," pulling around 2,200 likes over eight days. The same day, the joke escaped music Twitter entirely. Reddit user Saberlily9 posted a Lord of the Rings variant to r/lotr [4] with the cassette replaced by the complete recording of The Fellowship of the Ring, gathering more than 1,100 upvotes in its first week. Once non-music picks started landing, other fandoms piled in with video games, films, and books swapped onto the tape. Peak posting tracked closely with the Stranger Things 4 release window in mid-2022, when Kate Bush's original song was re-charting off the back of the show's soundtrack use[5]. ## How to Use Grab the four-panel screenshot, then swap out the cassette in the third panel with an album cover, book jacket, movie poster, or anything else the poster wants to claim would save them from Vecna. Captions typically ask "what song would save you from Vecna" or simply present the swapped selection with no setup, letting the format do the work. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Maxs Favorite Song?
