People picked up that it sounds John Carpenter'esq but here is the one that it sounds to directly homage. I figured it the first time I heard it.

Not the music, but the logo and psychokinetic theme: https://youtu.be/LGSSnY-HpMc

There's also this
Tron: Legacy "proof of concept" trailer, with music by MCP9000 which didn't end up on the official soundtrack. It starts about 2:00 in.
Sometimes fires don't go out when you're done playin' with them.

Wanna Fight from Cliff Martinez sounds more like the Stranger Things theme.
I would if 'Big Trouble in Little China' wasn't the older score and probably the inspiration to both scores. I think the notes are the same between Wanna Fight and Stranger Things, but the sound is closer to Big Trouble in Little China.

I just learned today that John Carpenter was also a musician. That's fascinating.
