Mixtapes are a way to show your affection for someone. Fill them up with Silly Love Songs, give them to the one you like, and see how they react. They can also be shared between couples. In more gloomy occasions, someone can fill a mixtape full of sad songs and listen to it while silently pining after another.
While less common, mixtapes can also be given for similar reasons between friends and family.
Mixtapes are traditionally audio or video cassettes, however, due to Technology Marches On this has been expanded to CDs and digital playlists. You're still more likely to see them in cassette format, though. Having a physical sign of the romance can be more appealing. Cassettes also have more of a nostalgia factor than a CD, and are considered by some to be more aesthetically pleasing (not to mention that it's easier to re-record a mixtape on a cassette compared to a CD-R, in which you need to burn a new blank disc entirelynote rewriteable "CD-RW" CDs do exist, but are prone to accidental erasure and have a much lower range of compatibility than conventional CD-Rs).
Can overlap or include a Gift of Song.

Episode nine of Over the Garden Wall has a flashback of Wirt making a poetry-filled audio cassette mixtape for his crush, Sara. Hijinx Occurs and Everything Goes Wrong when he tries to get the tape back from her. We learn that trying to retrieve the mixtape is the Inciting Incident that lead to Greg and Wirt going "over the garden wall" in the first place. In episode 10 (the final episode), Sara and Wirt reunite and Sara tells Wirt that she hasn't listened to the tape yet, as she doesn't own a cassette player. Wirt offers for her to listen to it at his house, which she accepts.

Kaworu makes a mixtape for Rei as a Christmas present in Advice and Trust. He wanted to make something for her, but his adamite nature means that he has Creative Sterility. Shinji's suggestion of a mixtape proved to be a good workaround.

"Mixtape" from Avenue Q involves Kate getting a mixtape from Princeton. At first it seems romantic, but as Kate looks over the list she notices that they're a mix of Friendship Songs, Silly Love Songs, and just random songs. Kate ends up confused until she looks at Side B and sees that they're romantic songs... But then it turns out Princeton is making mixtapes for all his friends. The song ends with him asking Kate on a date.

Supernatural: In "The Future" (Season 12, Episode 19), the audience learns that Dean Winchester has at some point in the recent past gifted Castiel with a mix tape entitled Dean's top 13 Zepp traxx. Believing that Dean is upset with him, Castiel tries to return it. Dean refuses, telling him, "It's a gift—you keep those." In addition to Led Zeppelin being well established as Dean's favorite band, it was revealed earlier in the same season that a shared appreciation for Led Zeppelin's music was a major catalyst for Dean's parents getting together in the early 1970's.

This trope is jokingly made out to be a poor decision of adolescence in the January 13th, 2011 strip of the online comic Nedroid, entitled "Memories of Youth". Reginald is about to commit Seppuku when Beartato exclaims, "Hey! Stop! What are you doing?" As an example of I Hate Past Me, Reginald explains, "Oh, I just remembered all the embarrassing things I did as a teenager." Beartato tells him to move on from the past, but a thought balloon pops up in Reginald's mind wherein he sees himself as a teenager at his school locker. This younger Reginald proudly proclaims, "This anonymous mixtape will surely win Becky's heart!" Present Reginald then attempts to drink poison.

In The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Sam gives Charlie a mixtape as a gesture of affection/friendship, and Sam getting getting Charlie into music symbolizes how she welcomes Charlie into her friend circle. Sam and Charlie are in a case of Will They or Won't They? throughout the book, with Charlie having a crush on Sam that may or may not be reciprocated, and the mix tape is one of many gestures by Sam that signals possible interest on her part.

In Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), Star-Lord's Walkman and the "Awesome Mix Vol. 1" mixtape that resides in it were gifts from his late mother. He treats them as Number One Dimes.
In the sequel film, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, they get destroyed by his father Ego. This is one of the things that ends up pushing Peter's Berserk Button. At the end of the film, it is shown Yondu really cared about Peter because he had a Zune to gift him filled with music in a more high-tech version of this trope.

In the My Name Is Earl episode "The Mailbox" Earl tries to help a guy get together with a female friend and wasn't sure if she felt the same way. The matter isn't helped was when she made him a mix CD with the songs, "Feel Like Making Love", "You're My Best Friend", "Stroke Me", "That's What Friends Are For", "You've Got a Friend" and "Ooh That Smell" sending some real mixed messages. Later in the episode Earl gets close to her and she gives him an equally unclear mix CD with the songs, "Feel Like Making Love", "You're My Best Friend", "Do Me", "Don't Do Me Like That", "I Want Your Sex" and "Don't Stand So Close To Me".

Manic Pixie Dream Wife: Chance has a problem: He married a Manic Pixie Dream Girl. His wife Simone is a rabid indie fringe music freak who bombards him with mix CDs. As he heads to work, she hands him several of his morning mixes (for as he drives to the freeway, for as he gets above 50 miles per hour, for sole reflections and quiet moments after he parks but before he surrenders himself to the drudges—) He hopefully interrupts her and says he accidentally lost all of her blank CDs, but she replies that blank CDs are like tampons: A girl always has some stored in most unlikely places. And sure enough, she has stashes and stashes of blank CDs in their house.

In High Fidelity, romantic mixtapes are practically Rob's Signature Move when it comes to wooing a girl. At the end of the film version he makes one for his girlfriend Laura as he finally feels he has learned how to make her happy.
But not before he comes perilously close to making a mixtape for another woman he is attracted to. Both he and Laura realize what this means.
