While Fan Art and Fanfiction are what first come to mind when discussing Fan Works, those are far from the only media that fans create. Fan music is the audio equivalent, being a piece of music created by fans of a work. This can take the form of fitting original lyrics onto an existing melody or creating a song and tune whole-cloth relating to a work of fiction.
Fan music is a common subject of Fanvids and remixes, as their lyrics already relate to the subject in question and are often heavily evocative of specific scenes fro the work.
Super-trope to:

Filk Song: Fan songs of the science-fiction fandom that are heavily influenced by folk music, and which were the first type of fan song to gain an audience outside of their creator's immediate social circles.
Heavy Mithril: Fan songs of the Heavy Metal genre that are focused on fantasy.
Nerdcore: Hip-hop fan songs, which often emphasize the social aspects of fandom as well as the topics of the fandom itself.
