MayFast music

I've decided to create a new term. And that term is "fast music".
Ok, so it's two words, but you get the idea right?
And no, I don't mean your pumped up dance tracks. I mean fast where you quickly start to like and then quickly start to hate a song. The musical equivalent of a one night stand I reckon.
In today's pop world, fast music happens a lot. With record companies always trying to find "The next big thing", there's lots of "slaps in the face" and not enough "deep impact" when it comes to songs.
Here's a current song at the moment that fits that bill:
Miley Cyrus - See you again:
She's 15. She has a famous dad. She has her own tweenie show. Of course she was going to launch herself as a singer. Her first major release is Corey Hart's "I wear my sunglasses at night" meets Shania Twain's "I'm gonna getcha good". Slow verses and fast choruses seem to be the trendy thing at the moment, but really, the first line of the song is so identical with the Corey Hart song, that I end up hearing him and not her. There are actually quite a few videos on YouTube with a mash up of these two songs. See the similarities for yourself if you want.
