Remix

n.
1. A significant change to a song while still preserving its original melody, a small change is called an edit. Remixes are very frequently performed in the EDM genre to the point where they are almost expected of any decent song. In the EDM genre remixes can be performed by the original artist, a permitted artist, or as a bootleg remix. Presently, remixing has become popular with rap/hip-hop as well though it is done quite ineffectively. Remixes performed by secondary artists on EDM music are generally considered a sign of great respect and appreciation whereas secondary artist remixes in rap are considered mockery or theft (because we all know that music is an industry, not an art medium)

2. Generally, any alteration to an existing object.

v.
3. The act of making a remix.
1a. Have you heard the Mark Norman remix of Sasha's Xpander? It really brings a modern sound to a great classic.

1b. The court case G-thugg v. Yung Jackass was settled earlier this afternoon in which Yung Jackass was sentenced to pay G-thugg $2 million, the amount of money that Yung Jackass made off of his remix of G-thugg's song "Spinner booty in the club while gangbanging in the hood. Chevy Avalanche."

remix

a good way for rappers to make more money. By remixing older hits (A.K.A. adding a few voice samplers and making it longer), artists can continue to get more money for their big ass houses and drug problems.

Remix

Not being bi-racial, but having one bi-racial parent, and the other being a full race. Remixing with someone who is already mixed.
Q: "hey are you mixed? like is your mom white, and your dad black?"
A: "not i'm not, i'm a remix. my mom is mixed and my dad is black. so I've been remixed with someone who was already mixed."
