"Filk music is defined as the music of science fiction and fantasy fandom. But more important than its subject matter is its attitude toward music: that people should make their own music, even if they aren't great at it. [...] The point of filk isn't that all singers are created equal. There are excellent writers and performers, and we all get special pleasure from listening to them. But listening by itself isn't enough. If you love music, you are bound to have your own musical thoughts and to want to give them voice. And when we make our own music and take the time to listen to each other's songs, we become better listeners." -- Gary McGath, "The Spirit of Filk"

[Filk is not the only music that does this, but it does have this aspect, and it's an important effect.]
