When a person mix CD’s or MP3 collection is so eclectic that it causes a shock every time the track changes. The most server cases of musical whiplash are experienced at house parties where the change in style can be so traumatic to the guests that they begin to dance in an erratic and deranged fashion e.g. moshing to pop, skanking to metal and street dancing to ska.
I was happily listening to Pantera in blanks car the other day then Miley Cyrus came on, I carried on head banging wound up with a full blown case of musical whiplash.
