Futurism and Music

Considering the notion of Futurism in Parliament/Funkadelic music (Afro-Futurism in that example specifically), can you think of other artists whose overall look and vibe emphasize being futuristic? What specifically is futuristic in the visuals and sonics? Is their notion of futurism trying to make a point about contemporary society (i.e. the present)?
