The term refers to art made by children and the untrained and self taught, as well as that made by people who suffer from mental illness.
I like the definition, "Art made by those who do not know it's name", which implies a very pure intent.
Anyway, I particularly like this, drawn by my son, aged 6, apparently a "Firework Machine" and part of a whole series he calls his "Network Pictures".
A pretty good example of "outsider music" would be The Shaggs, recommended by Frank Zappa himself.
Best,
Colin
