Your not a fan or aficionado so yeah...all sounds the same. Applies to everyone regarding every music genre they don't like. Heard the same complaint about rock (all sounds the same), country (all sounds the same), pop (all sounds the same), rap (all sounds the same), folk (all sounds the same), jazz (all sounds the same)...list goes on and on. You're not stating anything particularly grounded in fact my friend.

Sorry to strike a nerve there snowflake. You don't need to be an "aficionado" (self annotated in your case) to hear beats and rhythm.


Upon further research I've answered my own question as to why all Go Go sounds the same. It seems a quick google search of Basic/Essential go-go beat/Chuck Brown has satisfied my curiosity far greater than a self proclaimed "aficionado" could do.

If you hate it so much you can move or wait a few years. Gentrification and luxury apartments will erase Go Go from the area one block at a time. See H street.

I bet you the bill will pass the second vote from the D.C. Council and get a signature from the mayor right when the Go-Go Music Museum and Café in Ward 8's own historic Anacostia opens.
Great for the city.

I'm not really a fan of Go-Go, but it's an important part of DC's cultural fabric, and this is a pretty well established way of recognizing such things. I struggle to understand why anyone reasonable person oppose honoring a unique local musical form.

And hey, it's way better than Maryland's state sport, jousting.
(I love MD and will defend Smith Island cake until my dying breath, but jousting? Ridiculous.)

The renn faire crowd has strong lobbying dollars.

But the state team sport is lacrosse! Much better.

That's pretty dumb. Let's get together and lobby our local reps to get this changed!

I like go go. It's a cool sound though can't say I listen to it often. Was it actually invented in DC?? It seems like a really NY beat to me, though I know DC has Rare Essence and some clubs.
But what about jazz?

Yes some guy named Chuck Jones invented it. He was a big go-go pioneer.

That's pretty cool. Who invented playing on garbage pails by metro? I always liked that sound.

What a metaphor for a sometimes dysfunctional city that can't regularly pick up the garbage.

Chuck Brown, not Chuck Jones.
