The "outsider music" concept was codified in TheNineties by Irwin Chusid, a longtime DJ on New Jersey-based non-commercial radio station WFMU and aficionado of non-mainstream music. Chusid began featuring outsider artists on his regular radio show, and even started a spinoff show devoted entirely to them, called ''Incorrect Music'', which ran from 1997 to 2002. In 2000 Chusid published ''Songs In The Key Of "Z": The Curious Universe of Outsider Music'', where he devoted several chapters to artists deemed outsider musicians. Some of them are [[MadArtist mentally unstable]], some [[CloudCuckoolander plain eccentric]], others merely [[ManChild naïve and innocent]], some very social like Tiny Tim, [[ReclusiveArtist others don't want to see anyone]], like Jandek, but they all share an adventurous, authentic and unusual style of music. Chusid also went to great lengths to differentiate between self-consciously odd professional artists like Music/FrankZappa, Music/VelvetUnderground and/or Music/TheSexPistols and musicians who are clearly not aware how eccentric and unique they sound, like Music/TinyTim, Music/DanielJohnston and Music/WesleyWillis. The latter category are the real "outsiders". Chusid notes that the line between those two groupings can sometimes be quite thin, and he included Music/SydBarrett and Music/CaptainBeefheart in the book, even though they're famous CultClassic musicians; Barrett in fact started in the "self-consciously odd" category (being the original frontman of Music/PinkFloyd) before his declining mental health thrust him into outsider status.
