To be fair to the younger fans, I feel like most older fans have never been in a darkroom, and are only familiar with them as a movie trope. I certainly would have recognized this scene before I ever developed my own pictures.

It's the retail photo lab that really distinguishes my generation from the last.

Ah, it's the darkroom. From the headline I thought there'd been a reference to the Red Room from Twin Peaks in Stranger Things S2 that'd slipped by me. Which would be kinda weird since the show takes place before Twin Peaks was made, but people love referencing that show, so who knows.

As an older person, I thought it was a reference to the red room in basement in the Amityville Horror.

... or the red rum in the Overlook Hotel.
