This. I learned this by accident - starting with a banal concept and then extrapolating the setting between sessions. - by the end I had a mountain of material, 75% being stuff that the players would likely never interact with but I thought was important to the setting.

I often think people make the mistake of looking at Tolkien's published results and copious world-building and thinking it was all done in advance. It's simply not true, and if he could wing big chunks of it, you can (and perhaps should) too.
