Loved the quote in the Post yesterday. "There are Washingtoians. And there are people who have never heard of go-go." it's not a knock. But if you grew up here, you'd understand.

I didn’t grow up here and I understand. Hoochie Man is always in my rotation. I went to an HBCU and was introduced to it there.

Except that no one on earth can name a single go-go artist except Chuck Brown.

Rare Essence and Experience Unlimited are two legendary go-go bands. You aren’t from DC so you should just shut it.

I’m glad to not be from a place that claims go-go music and mambo sauce as its cultural touchstones.

Good. No one from DC cares.

Omg go back to putting raisins in potato salad Becky

I'm a middle aged white lady who isnt from DC and lives in the burbs.

But I freaking love Go Go music. I play it on WKYS or WPGC on Friday afternoons and it makes me so happy...like a street party. Starts the weekend off amazing. And that version of "Hello" ...https://youtu.be/KN1DJTQZwX0

It also claims Walt Whitman, Langston Hughes, and Duke Ellington, asswipe.

EU and Trouble Funk were the big acts when I grew up in DC in the 80s.

Who came up with the stupid looking dance that goes with it?

gentrification at its best here

1st what is sooo funny to me, this is DC urban moms and dads, and you know NOTHING of dc culture

Somebody start a gofund me and get them a better sound system.

For those who said "that particular DC is fading"... you cant erase an entire culture from a city.

GoGo is and will always be the heartbeat of DC.

Wow. You all know so little about your city and you’re the same ones deriding suburbanites for not experiencing “culture.”

I assume you also know nothing about DC punk and the role Georgetown’s radio station had in promoting it. Educate yourself:

I like go-go but they really need a better sound system at that store if they are going to crank it up.
