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.
