reasons for making a mixtape

From my research ive found there are many reasons people make mixtapes. The general idea of a mixtape is to express feelings through the medium of music. It can be light hearted and fun or sometimes quite serious depending on the message one wants to convey.

Traditionally a mix tape was made for someone to give to a person they are attracted to, in a way to get across a special message between lovers. However, there are other reasons people may make a mix tape, it could be a message between friends who have since moved away or a way of apoligising to someone you care about.

love

+ i like you, do you like me?
+ im in love with you
+ im sorry, please forgive me?
+ missing you
+ remembering the good times

friendship

+ missing you
+ im sorry
+ remembering the good times

Generally the music between lovers and friends would have a slightly different mood to it. For friendship it would more likely to be upbeat whereas for lovers some tracks may be slower and more meaningful.
