A mixtape, which usually reflects the musical tastes of its compiler, can range from a casually selected list of favourite songs, to a conceptual mix of songs linked by a theme or mood, to a highly personal statement tailored to the tape's intended recipient.
In off-beat British comedy SUBMARINE, Lloyd (Noah Taylor), gives his son Oliver, (Craig Roberts) a mixtape to help him deal with the struggles of teenage love; side A, love songs and side B, break up songs.
