Music Mashup

The Music Mashup example that we used for our presentation:


United States of Pop (Viva La Pop)
By Dj Earworm

Featuring the top 25 Billboard hits from 2008, this music mashup does not hide the fact that it is composed of songs by other artists. This is a good example of Schneider's key distiction for this form:

"Mashups are only mashups if they are recognisable both as their components and the whole simultaneously" (Schneider 20).
