In the early 90's, Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel de Homem-Christo said, "Fuck terrible
music!" and created Daft
Punk, the French-born Androids created by the will of the universe to change
music forever. To distinguish themselves from other musicians of lesser importance, they clad themselves in metal and leather, and kickass helmets to
boot. They created albums like Human After All, Alive, Discovery, and
Homework. Then, in the summer of 2011, the infamous musical scourge DUBSTEP was created. Accompanied by the witch-harpie-dyke Skrillex, they plunged the world of
music into a bass-heavy Hell, filled with a whole generation of club-goers that awkwardly nod their heads to the WUBWUBWUBWUBWUB and wonder how the hell they're supposed to dance to this shit. With Daft
Punk seemingly gone from the Earth, it seemed that the future of
music was doomed.
But hope came in the form of an unexpected ad during a 2013 SNL episode, when a 16-second blip of rhythm and funk was immortalized in the remixes on YouTube. Daft
Punk had returned, with a new album called RAM and single set for April 19- "Get Lucky." As soon as the single released, there were multiple accounts of cranial implosion, comatose states of euphoria, and eargasms. It seemed that Daft
Punk had taken the first shot in the war against Dubstep. The worlds of both old-school and new age wait with bated breath, hoping against hope that Daft
Punk can prevail against Dubstep, and usher the world into a new musical era of funk.
Dude 1- "Man, I hate all these Daft
Punk puns, they just get annoying."
Dude 2- "What are you talking about? Their new single was released on your birthday! It's like they created a song just for you!"
Dude 1- "Yeah, I guess they are Human After All."
Old Guy- "Back in my day, these Daft Punk guys were
awesome! I saved a vinyl for my future grandkids, so they could know real
music."
His 13-year-old bitch of a granddaughter- "Ew, grandpa, no one uses vinyls anymore. And I'VE never heard of these guys. But I guess if Skrillex can fuck a floppy disk and call it
music, what have I got to lose?"
