Why have the songs become so long? They just get so boring to listen to.

My Question or Issue

[ribezaz]

Welcome to the Spotify community!

Your question is very interesting and, in a way, reflects a cultural and artistic shift in the way music is conceived and consumed. Over the decades, the length of songs has fluctuated according to trends, technologies and audience expectations.

Today, many artists choose to extend their compositions to explore nuances, create atmospheres or tell more complex stories. In some cases, the search for authenticity and artistic depth leads to a less “fast” and more contemplative structure. On the other hand, there are also those who interpret this phenomenon as a response to the way digital platforms reward engagement and retention, influencing musical aesthetics.

What is considered “boring” or “long” also depends a lot on our emotional state, time availability and even the way we relate to music — whether as a background track, as an immersive experience or as simple instant entertainment.

Perhaps the issue you raise is less about the length of the songs and more about our own pace of life, which has accelerated to the point where it is difficult to enjoy certain types of compositions with patience.

In any case, Spotify offers an immense diversity: short, long, fast or introspective songs — there is always something that can better connect with your current moment.

Keep me updated.

Cheers,

I meant that the songs are about 3 to 31/2 minutes long but now the end of the songs is repeated for 4.5.6 minutes they are boring. and I don't think the artists have made the songs that way but I think you create them with AI. Sorry but I think Spotify is getting worse and worse I have had Spotify since 2011 and I loved it.
