Mixtape Nostalgia: Culture, Memory, and Representation analyzes the
role of the mixtape as a site of collective memory tied to youth
culture, community identity, and sharing music. The author looks at
the history of the mixtape from the early 1980s and the rise of the
cassette as a fundamental aspect of the music industry. She
discusses the continued contemporary appeal of the mixtape as
musicians, novelists, memoirists, playwrights, and even podcasters
have used it as a metaphor for connection and identity. The book
shows how creators use the iconography of the mixtape cassette to
create ephemera which speaks to the appreciation of the tangible
and the analog. The desire to find connection through sharing a
physical artifact permeates the various creative uses of the
mixtape. From blockbuster films to mixtape throw pillows, Burns
highlights the appreciation music lovers have for tangibly sharing
music and the emotions it brings.
