Founders Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo didn't actually come up with the name Daft Punk themselves. A critic at Melody Maker gave a negative review to their previous band which was Darlin', what they wanted to be rock band. The critic called them “ a bunch of daft punk” which they found funny, so they decided to take the name Daft Punk and us it for there own purpose and by that I mean start the Electronic group Daft Punk. Since there formation in the late '80s they have become the most popular group in clubs and raves with their albums Homework, Discovery, and Human After All.
