P-Funk mythology

The P-Funk mythology is a group of recurring characters, themes, and ideas primarily contained in the output of George Clinton's bands Parliament and Funkadelic. This "funkology" was outlined in album liner notes and song lyrics, in addition to album artwork, costumes, advertisements, and stage banter.[1][2] P-Funk's "Dr. Seussian afrofunk" is often cited as a critical component of the Afrofuturism movement.[3][4]
