Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Self-demonstration aside, "filk" is best described as the music of fandom, or at least, the music of the filk community. Songs about SF books or movies, fandom in-jokes, or even just related topics such as computer geeky references are all common sources for filk. And, despite what the self-demonstration says, filk doesn't have to be new words to old music - that's To the Tune Of. (Nobody would call The Star-Spangled Banner filk, but the US national anthem uses the tune of To Anacreon in Heaven. The song sometimes considered the "anthem of filk," Hope Eyrie, has its own original music.) |
