Nerd-folk (also known as nerd folk music, nerd folk, geek-folk or dork-folk[1]) is a musical genre derived from filking that features humorous original songs involving geeky topics performed in a folk style. Laser Malena-Webber and Aubrey Turner of The Doubleclicks credit Marian Call and others with creating the genre.[2] The genre is related to filking and other nerd music genres nerdcore (hip hop) and geek rock (alternative rock).[2]
