Definition of Remix

Remix is the adaptation of an original piece of work that is taken by someone else and recreated to fit a new purpose whether it is through the same medium or a different one. Jenkins states, “ convergence represents a cultural shift as consumers are encouraged to seek out new information and make connections among dispersed media content”.

Thus, we analyzed a form of remix culture through several different generations and mediums. ABBA, A-Teens, the musical Mamma Mia, and the movie Mamma Mia are an example of remix culture.
