[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, so I can Google.  And it isn't too kind to the genre.  But the local news is all over it so maybe I'm missing something, so I thought I'd ask here.  Wiki says that [b]Go Go is a genre that wasn't popular enough to expand beyond the DMV[/b], and only remains popular in the area essentially because it's the only musical genre to start here so therefore it is revered here.  So I am back to my original question.  [b]What is the draw to Go Go beyond the fact that it originated here?  The Op Ed that someone linked to earlier basically made reference that Go Go is a lasting remnant of the Chocolate City - which doesn't seem like something to revere if we're looking for a post-racial kind of harmony.[/b]  So again...my question stands.[/quote]

This was my understanding, too. Frankly, I don't hear anything distinctive about it, and the Chocolate City era is on its way out for good or for ill. As the city becomes less parochial, this GoGo thing is going to be less and less relevant. You might say this funeral marks the passing of the era.
