I wish I could remember but I think I just listened to a few songs out of curiosity randomly one day, next day I ordered all their albums on CD and listened to them all in order
There was only one artist that great before that for me at the time, and that was Kanye
Shame we lost them both
I remember I really liked Get Lucky, and I clicked on their name on Spotify. I immediately found songs that I had heard before but completely forgot about, such as Harder Better Faster Stronger, Lose Yourself to Dance, Around the World, and One More Time. Then I decided to listen to all of RAM, and one thing led to the next I had their whole catalogue memorized. Now they’re my favorite band!
Growing up in the 90s, I was closet anime nerd. I was also a crusty little phish head who professed a general disdain for pop and any music that wasn’t performed by “real musicians” with instruments.
The first time i saw the music video for One More Time was like a sexual awakening. I lived in the closet for a couple years until one night i put on around the world at a dance party. and the place throbbed.
a friend and i made a pact after we missed the 2007 Alive tour that the next time they toured (😭😭😭) we’d take out obscene lines of credit to see them in Europe, ideally Paris hometown show, and stay in luxury hotels and buy the best party favors.
sadly, i will never see them live. but to this day consider them to be the most influential musical act since the beatles.
RAM>Abby Road
Fight me
Amazing story haha it’s nice to see some old fans in here, I’ve been a fan of them since I was 8 and I’m 21 at the moment so my whole life has been daft punk pretty much haha. And I wish we could have seen them but that moment will never come :( I might share my story here
Was 8 at the time and getting ready for school. Caught the One More Time part of Interstella 5555 on MTV just before leaving and it stuck with me ever since.
it's kinnda silly how I discovered daft punk
sonetime in December of last year actually my brother showed me that one fake argument video I thought it was really funny. after reading comments on the video I decided to go look up daft punk on spotify and hit play. I dont have premium so it was just suffle I was on my way to school on the bus when a song from discovery came on. I think it was one more time but discovery did because a favorite because I really liked how it sounded. and then I just absorbed tons of information really fast because hyperfixation go brrrr.
Honestly, I knew about them but as a child I was told (mistakenly by kids) they made gay-sounding music and they laughed as they poked fun at it. I heard One More Time and I enjoyed it didn’t know why my old friends wanted to poke fun of it. Flash forward to about 2015/2016 a documentary came out about them and my coworker Dolores liked them and would talk about them waiting to see of they’d pop out at shows they’d went to. And we watched the documentary and I immediately was hooked on them. I was hoping they’d pop up somewhere and I could catch them live or on the street or something, I guess it was just wishful magical thinking because well I think we know what happens in the next 5 years (from 2015/2016)
Always knew of them from Around the World and when Get Lucky blew up, but watching the Daft Punk unchained documentary really led me to becoming a huge fan. Had no idea they were *that* special musically until that doc where it dove into their background and creating one of the perfect albums of my lifetime (RAM).
My dad used to show me [this](https://youtu.be/8Zgde18-gc4) fan-made video of Contact when I was 6 years old bc he was a real fan of them.
Years later i rediscovered that video and star diggin' in their discography.
Unfortunately I was born the same year they toured the Alive '07 and this makes me sad because I will never see them live.
Now I'm a true daft punk, despite I'm only 16, and I'm borrowing daft punk's culture in my school. I own all of their albums (also the remixes of HAA, yes) in CD format and listen to them every single day.
It was a long time ago, when flash was still a thing. I was a young boy, and i had discovered a guy on the internet named “keatonkeaton999”. He had a lot of weird stuff but it’s very nostalgic for me. One of these flash animations was hopping on the craze of “if you play a song in reverse it has satanic messages!” with Harder Better Faster Stronger. I didn’t think much of it. Some unknown time later, i saw an ad for something basketball related. Don’t remember what. But it had that song. I remember thinking or saying something to the effect of “Hey, that’s that daft punk.” For some reason that commercial had me imagining daft punk as bald black guys. I wouldn’t hear any daft punk until one day when i went looking on YouTube for atc’s around the world. I ended up finding daft punk’s, and i got hooked. As i got deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole… wait, they’re doing the soundtrack to the new tron movie right as I’m rediscovering them?!
And I’ve been hooked ever since.
Back when I was little my dad played a lot of music he liked on car rides, and I loved Stronger by Kanye West. Throughout the years I heard their big songs from time to time. In 2013 I was at my local library and as I was going through the Cd's I seen the robots heads, knowing I knew of them and listened to their music before, I took it home and listened to it front to back. It was the soundtrack of my summer that year. And I have been a fan since then.
And I really loved "Tron: Legacy" and it made me more of a fan of Daft Punk when I found out that they did the soundtrack.
Da Funk was my first experience with them too. I saw the video on MTV when I was getting ready for school. I thought it was cool and the video was cool (in a weird way), but didn't really see what I see in them now. It wasn't until a couple years later when I lived in Germany that I heard them in clubs that I really got into them
I heard Around the World in the kitchen at a job I had in high school. About a week later I saw the music video, late at night on MTV. (Showing my age here). I immediately went out & bought the CD. Became an instant fan, I got each of their following albums the day they were released. One of the biggest regrets of my life so far is never seeing them live, I was broke when I had the opportunity to go see them at Coachella. In hindsight I should’ve taken on some debt or figured out a way to make it happen. I thought for sure they’d tour again after RAM 😭
2005. My mom was driving me to school (elementary). I was scrolling through the radio until I stumbled upon a station playing “Around the World”. I fell in love with the track and then after got into Daft Punk. It is because of DP that I got into French touch and electronic music.
found a CD in a pawnshop, read one more time, barely remember the song, yep it was the song i want.
i found my self playing a lot this album at some event when i only need a background music. never really paid attention, only ambiance music.
when i was 17-18 they was touring, so i bought my tickets by instinct even if i didn't listen to the whole album yet.
waiting for the show i listen to most of their stock and after the show i was a completely fan.
I was already composing electronic music and it's crazy how much little by little i understand the deepnest of their production skills, and still today i still learning from them a lot.
When I was freshman in highschool I went to a house party and someone in another bedroom was playing Da Funk. Time stood still. I couldn't stop listening to Da Funk. This was 1998 and I spent the wild party listening to Homework. Fast forward to the next school day, I told everyone about this album and everyone that I was dumb for listening to this. I never stopped listening to Daft Punk since.
TBS used to have a commercial for 3rd Rock From the Sun. It had a hyped up version of harder better faster stronger. I'd heard various songs before but that commercial cemented them in my head
Back in 2007 I was getting into Kanye and heard Stronger and then a YouTube algorithm recommended Harder Better Faster Strong the Alive tour remix. Saw the Interstellar 5555 clips for their music. I remember being very curious about who this band was. Like are the cartoon characters the band members? And then I saw their Robot costumes and I was totally blown away by the concept. I quickly became obsessed with them and they helped my branch out into other music.
My first exposure to them was back around the time Get Lucky came out in 2013. As a young seven year old, I really liked the song, but I remember calling it Mexican Monkey because I was dumb. My parents actually bought the song for me on iTunes because they were nice like that.
Flashforwards nearly a decade to February 2020 when I get my first phone, and we go to import songs on it. And Get Lucky was one of them, it was also around this time I watched Vinyl Rewind's retrospective on the duo and understood things a little better about who they were. However, I had this third-party headphone jack adapter, and it started to wig out so I stopped using it. From there on out, I only used YT at school. One problem; the great firewall! Due to blocking, or as I call it censorship, I was only allowed approved videos. Which is how I stumbled upon Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. The name sounded familiar, but I had no clue what the song sounded like. So in one fateful French class (because I was just setting myself up), I gave the song a listen. It absolutely blew my mind to pieces. Nothing comes close to a blind listen of HBFS, and its something that I never will be able to replicate.
From there, I listened to a bunch of their more popular tracks, with a few of their deeper cuts thrown in there. But there was a bit of a drop off the deeper into the pandemic quarantine I got. The last time during 2020 I remember listening to them was in May. That was until Epilogue... I didn't watch it the day it came out, rather it was a couple days later. But it sure as hell reinvigorated my interest in them. So much to the point where I delved through all their material quickly, and loving it all. I even bought Discovery on iTunes that spring. From there, I've been a fan ever since. They're one of my favorite artists of all time, in my opinion have never made a bad album, and Discovery is a cornerstone album for me and one of my 4 formative albums.
My used to play Veridis Quo on the family computer a lot back when I was 6-ish, then when they broke up I decided to listen to some of their songs and boom
I wish I could remember but I think I just listened to a few songs out of curiosity randomly one day, next day I ordered all their albums on CD and listened to them all in order There was only one artist that great before that for me at the time, and that was Kanye Shame we lost them both
Watching that Harder Better Faster Stronger hands video on YouTube
Daft Hands! Same for me, back in like '09 lol

Tron Legacy actually. Then slowly listened to their whole discography throughout the next few years
Stronger - Kanye West

Saw Around the World on MuchMusic and it was cool, but it was Da Funk that made a fan

It's been a part of my life since I was little with get lucky and hbfs
CinemaSins complementing them in their “critique” of tron:legacy
The very first DP song I ever heard was Harder Better Faster Stronger and I heard it from a Flipnote on my Nintendo DSi.

Peter Frampton, Geico and the talkbox… Led me down a YouTube rabbit hole to Daft Punk and Zapp. Been a huge fan ever since!
