Ignore these guys. They can't think beyond the question.

I think Funk was, as it was in the 70's, has grown up, gotten tighter and more open-minded. Funk is rarely straight up funk any more. Its often coupled with many other genres as a sort of musical-modifier.

As it was in the 70's is sort of a snapshot in time. I'd suggest you look at funk across the span of time we've had and look for the consistent elements. Thats funk. The sequene jumpsuits and ridiculous glasses were the 70's.
