Daft Punk/YMMV


 * And the Fandom Rejoiced:
 * Their involvement with both Tron Legacy and DJ Hero.
 * And "Robot Rock" playing in the background of the first epic fight scene from Iron Man 2.
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome:
 * Their surprising appearance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2006, playing for the first time in the now-iconic glowing pyramid, heralded by Close Encounters of the Third Kind chimes.
 * Also, their surprise appearance at the 2008 Grammys during Kanye West's performance of "Stronger". The album version of the song uses samples of Daft Punk's song "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger"; in the Grammy show, Daft Punk themselves appeared and performed that part of the song live.
 * To clarify what makes this a true Crowning Moment, instead of just Awesome: This was the first time ever Daft Punk had appeared live on television (they'd been on TV before, but always pre-recorded).
 * The official reviews for the Tron Legacy soundtrack have been mostly positive. Fan buzz is overwhelmingly in love with it.
 * Ear Worm: Given that their main genres are house and techno, and that their lyrics are very simple and repetitive, a lot of their songs fall under this.
 * Epic Riff:
 * The solo in "Aerodynamic".
 * The solo in "Digital Love".
 * "Robot Rock"
 * Fanon Discontinuity:
 * Originally, Discovery was this to some Homework fans, though that sentiment is pretty much gone by now.
 * Human After All. Though it has since regained some pride among fans through what Daft Punk does to it in their live shows.
 * The soundtrack to Tron Legacy is getting some of this, because some people were expecting a Daft Punk album and not a film score.
 * Fridge Brilliance
 * The Alive 2007 album. Beginning it with Two Robot voices Going back and forth between "Robot" and "Human".
 * Having "One More Time" sampled in the Encore.
 * Also the Encore, Combining "Music Sounds Better with You" and "Together".
 * The video for "Around the World" seems like a random Halloween-themed number until you realize that each costume is a different musical instrument. The track stars (with the false heads) are the bass, the skeletons are the guitar, the mummies are the drums, the swimsuited women are the keyboards, and the robots are the vocals. And they're dancing around a vinyl record. The stairs are the high and low notes, which go with the track stars.
 * The huge HBFS sample-solo while performing with Kanye at the 2008 Grammys.
 * Gateway Series: For many people into house and electronic music as a whole.
 * Memetic Mutation: Daft Hands. And other variations.
 * Periphery Demographic: Yaoi Fans. The amount of...fanart of Thomas and Guy-Manuel is simply staggering.
 * Sampled Up
 * They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Every new studio album since Homework has been met with criticism initially because it sounded different from the previous album. In Discovery's case, this opinion quickly faded.
 * True Art Is Incomprehensible: The music video to "Around the World". Just... What is going on?
 * Vindicated By History: Discovery divided critics upon release, but now has been gaining considerable praise over the years, some considering it one of the finest albums of the last decade.
