Man or Astroman? fits the bill. Campy instrumental sci-fi surf guitar from the 90s. They just reformed in 2010 and put out a record last year. I can also second the P-Funk recommendation below.
Looks like Wikipedia does a pretty good job of explaining it.
My favorite track is "Red Light Indicates Doors are Secured." Here's a pretty good breakdown of the lyrics (click on lyrics to see the annotation on the right).
Well like I said those were just suggestions. I'm not personally into that type of music, I was just giving a few suggestions from what I know. But...
I have found a website that could help out. http://www.gnoosic.com/faves.php It allows you to put in several of your favorite artists and it will recommend several artists based on your taste.
But again. If you just wanna try looking for genre defining. I'd say your taste sounds like a mix of Trap and R&B.
If you're really starting from ground zero Rateyourmusic's list of the top rated albums of all time is a good list of entry-level stuff. Find things you like then branch into more obscure things in those styles.

AGREED.
if you haven't heard it already, you are destined to listen to the album Deltron 3030. Regardless of your taste in genre, this is an alternative hip-hop album starring Del The Funky Homosapien (who performed on the Gorillaz single "Clint Eastwood" featuring a collection of top producers including Dan The Automator and Kid Koala.
Its legendary.
I really like the MusicBrainz Sound Team. I've also made some music myself that might fit what you're asking, though it might also be too meta, not sure.
