According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the members of Daft Punk met in high school in Paris.
Together they briefly participated in a rock band called Darlin 'and its name comes from a harsh criticism that group received for one of their songs that was described as "daft punky trash" (silly punk trash).
Their first world hit was "Da Funk" in 1995 and then with their debut album Homework in 1997, they hit the dance music scene with "Around the World."
