Folklorism or folklorismus is a concept of folklore transmission developed by Hans Moser. Folklorism can be broadly categorized in three ways: the performance of folk culture away from its original context, the playful imitation of popular motifs by another social class, and the creation of folklore for different purposes outside of any known tradition.[1] The third form of folkorism, the creation of new forms of folklore outside of existing traditions, can be compared with the concept of fakelore.

The Serbian folklorist Nemanja Radulovic argued that the Slavic Native Faith could be understood as a form of folklorism. [2]
