I love this analysis!! I did a whole write-up on TTPD in this morning's newsletter and I included a shoutout to PopPoetry but I didn't even know this was coming!
From what I've been told, the reference to "the Blue Nile" is intended as a swipe at her ex's musical taste, as he was apparently a big fan of the excellent Scottish post-punk band the Blue Nile: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blue_Nile_(band), who in turn named themselves after the Alan Moorehead novel The Blue Nile.
If you'd asked me two years ago which post-punk artist would get a dose of unlikely fame à la Kate Bush via Stranger Things, the Blue Nile wouldn't have even cracked my top 100 guesses, and in all honesty, I have mixed feelings about the whole thing.
