Why Stranger Things & The X-Files sound similar

The opening themes for both Stranger Things and The X-Files are built from the same chord, the minor 6th chord. I've analysed both themes to shed some light on why this particular chord is so good at building tension, unease and suspense.
An extra special thanks goes to Daniel Long, the channel’s Patreon saint! 😇
