Frosh (album series)
The Frosh album series is a collection of compilation albums, typically focused on showcasing popular electronic dance music (EDM) and house music tracks that are popular with a young, often college-aged, audience. The series gained prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s, often being associated with the "frosh week" or "orientation week" events common at universities and colleges.
The albums typically feature a mix of well-known and up-and-coming artists within the genre. Their target demographic is young adults entering or attending college, reflecting the high-energy, party-oriented atmosphere often associated with the start of the academic year. The albums' tracklists are usually curated to appeal to the tastes of this demographic, with a focus on danceable beats and popular club hits. The popularity of the series has fluctuated over the years with the changing trends within electronic music.
