Hungarian folk music includes a broad array of styles, including the recruitment dance verbunkos, the csárdás and nóta. To some extent, the music of ethnic Hungarian people and the music of the Roma in Hungary have been conflated, though the exact degree to which this has occurred is debated.

A variation of the Hungarian style of traditional music is Magyarországi Cigány Népdalok, Hungarian Gypsy Folksongs. During the early 20th century contemporary composers were influenced by the traditional music of their nation which may be considered as a repeat of the early "nationalist" movement of the early 19th century (Beethoven) but is more accurately the artists desire to escape the hegemony of the classical tradition manifold at that time. Béla Bartók took this departure into the abstract musical world in his appropriation of traditional Hungarian as the basis for symphonic creations.

Neutral Milk Hotel singer Jeff Mangum is known for being heavily influenced by Hungarian folk music.
