Filk music is perhaps one of the most underground music styles because it's almost impossible to find. Coming from the world of science fiction and fantasy fandom, the music can only be found, for sale or live, at Science Fiction conventions, a handful of stores, and here on the Internet.

Filklore and filklife studies  
Filksongs are folksongs by or about science fiction fans or writers. Or, more loosely, any song which is either to the tune of another song or in any way even vaguely related to sf or fantasy or fandom. The term "filk" arose in the 1950's, as a typo by Lee Jacobs in the title of an essay. That 'zine never got published, but the term "filk" got passed around by fans, and the name stuck. The rest is history.
