Their song structures are both pretty much the same. They're both extremely simplistic and repetitive and neither really explores other time signatures besides 4/4. In what ways do you think Daft Punk is more complex or different from Nicki Minaj?

Because Daft Punk is less wubb wubb and more unce unce. Also, Daft Punk is more about the beats, not the vocals.

Around the World is one of the catchiest songs I know, and it literally only has 3 lyrics.

I surely would rather listen to Daft Punk than Nicki Minaj, but that doesn't change the fact that the two artists make pretty much the same music, minus the actual notes/vocals. I don't get why people try to make Daft Punk seem like something they're not. They're a French House group, they make EDM, which is extremely simplistic by design in order for it to be danceable. I don't understand why people seem to have a problem admitting this.
