Daft Punk make pop music
Would you classify 'Homework' as pop music ??
How about 'Rock n Roll' off that album ? Doesn't sound very 'pop' to me.
Maybe their subsequent albums, but Homework is an all time classic in my
opinion.
Kind regards,

vs Electro
Fck that - just because a huge majority of people call anything with a
"dance beat" and synths "techno" doesn't mean that we should start calling
Paul Oakenfold sound "techno music".
Electro = Electronic Funk as in Egyptian Lover, Aux 88, Whodini, UTFO -
it's the in early roots of hip-hop, it's Funkadelic, it's Miami Bass, it's
the 808, it's electrified funk/R&B/soul to the bone
Daft Punk make pop music
"Electroclash" did a great deal of harm in confusing the matter imo.
