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.

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.)

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.
