Mix Tape?


Or mixed tape?

I'll take comments.

Mix tape.
It's a mix of songs, not a mixed of songs.
Y'know like... party mix, beach mix, make-out mix.

Kate, you make a good point. I've always thought of it as mixed, though I was becoming comfortable with the idea that we had shortened it, for ease's sake. I figured it was mixed because it described the tape. The tape is of mixed music. Or something.

I realize this thinking is much like the thinking of an eleven-year-old, which is probably when I really thought it out. Oh, how logic stales.

At one point in our illustrious years at BYU Pamy and I made a box-set mixed tape with an amorous theme. Perhaps my hours invested in this project formed my opinion on the matter.
Ah, the good ol' days.

no. no no. it is a mixed tape. sure, it's a mix of songs, but we're trying to describe the contents of the tape here- which have been mixed.

who says "mix tape"?

it's true, and out of sheer tactlessness, i will go ahead and elaborate. it was a sex mix triumverate: before, during, and after. never got any use though, but it sure got some laughs (ours).

thems was the days.

i agree that the term is mix tape.
