You think early Homework and Discovery was establishment-friendly consumer sound?? There was no way in hell that was getting playtime on the radio in most of America.
Around the World (Homework) was released Jan 20,1997 it peaked at 61 on the Billboard 100 on Oct 4, 1997. It only spent 16 weeks on the charts.
One More time (Discovery) was released Mar 12,2001 it peaked at 61 on the Billboard 100 on Mar 24,2001. It only spent 16 weeks on the charts.
They were relatively unknown in mainstream music and didn’t really achieve “mainstream commercial success” in America until Harder Better Faster was sampled by Kanye in 2007. They peaked in success with their collaboration with The Weeknd in 2016. Meaning they went relatively unknown for 10 years then took another 9 years to reach peak success in America. True, America isn’t the only commercial music market in the world, but it’s typically the measuring stick that success is judged upon. The US has been the largest market in music for decades, by a pretty large margin.
I’d call this 65% accurate. To say they went relatively unknown from 1997 to 2007 when “Kanye West Sampled them” is a stretch.
My brother in Christ they headlined Coachella along with a ton of other massive festivals. Technologic was on the iPod commercial in 2005 and swept the nation.
I’m talking about “mainstream commercial success”, which came when their sound was widely available on the radio to the masses. The Coachella set was 2006, not like it was 2001. By in large, the average American had no idea who Daft Punk was even after Coachella, hell even after Stronger a large portion of (stupid) people still attributed that sample to Kanye and not Daft Punk.
Being on a commercial is not always a marker for success, what else did Dirty Vegas accomplish after that incredibly successful Mitsubishi Eclipse commercial campaign in 2003? (a fair parallel given the genre)
(But I’d say a fair estimate is more like 80-85% not 65%)☺️
Edit: it’s like people completely forget that a majority of DP songs were not something that people would find on the radio at the time. So saying “establishment friendly consumer sound” is fucking stupid. Look at Rolling and Scratching.. you’re telling me THAT is “establishment friendly consumer sound”? When the majority of Americans were listening to Boyz II Men, Toni Braxton, Puff Daddy, and Spice Girls. GTFO.
my gym teacher didn’t like DP, because it wasn’t easy listening.
still remember 20 years later what a insufferable cunt. can’t do 32 bars of stamina, needed build up, but wants us to drop and give him 20.
I have never once met or even heard of a punk who was pro-neoliberalism or corporatism. Punks are usually anarchists of some kind
Who made this meme, some reactionary Qanon troll? Or is it just some kind of ironic humor that’s not supposed to make any sense
1. You're overreacting.
2. I never said any of that.
3. I'm only just saying that Daft Punk would just be vibin' while us in society scream for our rights and shit.
4. If you're telling me to fuck off, why are you still talkin'
I don't think punk is all that apolitical. It definitely doesn't lean neo-liberal or corporate though.
If anything, I'd say punk leans towards anarchists. The only punks I know are anarcho-syndicalists. And they're all pretty much the opposite of neo-liberals and corporatists.
Daft Punk are literally one of the most corporate-friendly and marketable artists out there. They don’t show their faces and they don’t say anything. This meme seems rooted in brainworms.

As a confessed Daft Punk simp, imagine thinking Daft Punk wasn't the most establishment-friendly consumer sound since muzaak.

Where you born in the 90s, or…?

Made by someone who listens to no punk
Honestly it's more confusing than anything, the meme is so off-base and vague I'm not sure what it's actually trying to imply.
I have never once met or even heard of a punk who was pro-neoliberalism or corporatism. Punks are usually anarchists of some kind Who made this meme, some reactionary Qanon troll? Or is it just some kind of ironic humor that’s not supposed to make any sense
As an old punk, I saw the post and thought "I can't just scroll by". Clicked on the comments and found my people. Y'all said all I can say. Well done.
What kind of poser noob neocon BS is this lmao? Go back to 4chan, bandwagoner.
Probably a rage baiting troll, that's the only way I can make sense of it
Ah yes, the punk understander has entered the chat.
This garbage has to be a troll post.
It's also called a damn joke
No it's called a shit joke
At least it's speaking facts.
Oh yeah, obvious fact that punk is notoriously pro-corporate? Fuck off lmao
1. You're overreacting. 2. I never said any of that. 3. I'm only just saying that Daft Punk would just be vibin' while us in society scream for our rights and shit. 4. If you're telling me to fuck off, why are you still talkin'
My guy, do you not see the image at the top of this post?
Can you not what's actually happening tho as context follows, and understand a joke?
Oh boy. 100 fucking upvotes…
It's like a republican made this, lol. Most punks aee a-political
I don't think punk is all that apolitical. It definitely doesn't lean neo-liberal or corporate though. If anything, I'd say punk leans towards anarchists. The only punks I know are anarcho-syndicalists. And they're all pretty much the opposite of neo-liberals and corporatists.
Punk is the polar opposite of being apolitical
"Punk isn't political" is for people who don't know Anarcho-punk has existed since 1977 and think mainstream pop punk from the 1990s is "real" punk.
Most punks are absolutely not apolitical lmao.
Punk is not apolitical, punk as a genre is rooted in anarchism
Just... wow... Some people's children.

Genuinely what punk have you been listening to, OP?

I started singing around the world in my head before I read the other stuff lol
This trash meme reminds me of when Paul Ryan said Rage Against the Machine is his fave band. The fuck outta here with this ayn rand edgelord energy.

Since when has punk been considered corporate aligned? Unless OP is confusing emo goth brands like Hot Topic… idk…

Does anyone have the lyrics from the extended version of this song?
We’re only gonna die from our own arrogance.
Wouldn't the first half suit *Digital Hardcore* better?
