This article is mostly about the release schedule of music (TLDR: one song at a time, once every few months), saying very little about how the actual music has changed. For more on this, music journo Liz Pelly has written a lot about what she calls "Spotify-core", a new-ish genre of music which works as both background and foreground music. https://thebaffler.com/downstream/streambait-pop-pelly https://thebaffler.com/downstream/streambait-pop-pelly
- robotron 7y agoMy circle of experimental music artists were doing this in the early/mid-2000s.We weren't streaming so much as releasing MP3s as they were done. I expect (somewhat) that song length may also morph, if it hasn't already. There's no need to be concerned about how much time fits on physical media. There are just attention spans.
