Cher's song seems a little early to be included in this fad. Didn't it really start with T-Pain's music, and then Kayne West produced a few albums with him or something?

It's not a bad little tool to use. It's a bit like reverb in the 1980s... hopefully musicians will get the message that it just sounds dull when overused.
