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.
