What is Filk Music?

Filk music originated in the 1950s when science fiction fans would gather at a convention for a sing-along. The word filk derives from folk. Apparently, there was a typo in the program flyer, and a new musical genre emerged! Basically, it's a form of music created from within science fiction and fantasy fandom, often performed late at night at science fiction conventions.
