This is a characteristic of the modern popular song. This type of song was a consequence of the interaction of black music with white popular songs and the integration of new technology. An important characteristic of this type of music was the fact that it took a chorus-oriented form. This meant that verses were almost fully scrapped, and that songs consisted primarily of several statements of the chorus. Moreover, the form of the chorus was itself fast-paced, usually in the form of four short sections.
