road trip mix

Driving music compilation

A road trip mix is a music compilation—originally on cassette or CD, now typically a playlist—assembled for long car journeys.

The ideal mix balances sing-along anthems, energizing tracks, and mellower stretches for nighttime driving: I spent hours curating the perfect road trip mix.

The term evokes nostalgia for pre-streaming travel rituals when someone had to plan the soundtrack in advance.
