	Artificial mythology
		It is used to describe mythology specifically created for fantasy or science-fiction books or movie such as The Lord of the Rings, or role playing games, or any mythology that does not exist before the publication or development of such works.

		Works in artificial mythologies are often treated as normal works of fantasy or science-fiction, but many hardcore fans treat these worlds as real and study languages, histories, and religions depicted in the fiction.

		But George Clinton, founding father of the profoundly influential groove collective known as Parliament Funkadelic, is most definitely the joyously wigged-out professor emeritus of funk.

		The new funk fusion crew soon evolved into Parliament Funkadelic, boosted into groove nirvana on the talents of mastermind Clinton, keyboard ace Bernie Worrell and guitar savant Eddie Hazel.

	P-Funk
		As much as anything else, Clinton 's invented mythology served as a commentary on the displacement and dislocation of African-Americans in the African Diaspora.
		Social and technological progressions were leaving fl Americans largely behind, and that fact in combination with rising conservative trends in American society had the potential to produce a powerful sense of alienation.
		The social dislocation that Clinton seems to feel and express manifests itself primarily in his outer-space mythology of ‘The Mothership' and the mystical significance of ‘the One.' But Clinton 's alternate cosmology does more than simply disorient the mainstream listener.

		According to its creator, P-Funk was the purest form of funk, but in reality it was a hybrid of hard funk, hard rock and acid-fuelled surrealism.
		That music harked back to the funk of James Brown, the fl rock of Jimi Hendrix and the blunted, wacked-out groove of Sly and the Family Stone.
		His new fans seem perfectly happy, but the faithful prefer to remember him as someone who, in his creative prime, was impossible to pin down or label.

		With only moderate success, the Funkadelic signed with Casablanca Records as Parliament, releasing "Up for the Down Stroke" (off the album of the same name) which reached #10 on the R&B charts but peaked at #63 Pop.
