There's a bit of a sad trend in #Pitchfork's list of best songs of the year.

Basically more than half of the songs on that list are less than 3 minutes long or barely reach that threshold - with a few notable exceptions, like the 8 minutes of "Bending Hectic", Cole Pulice's 22 minutes epic ambient track, and Lana Del Rey's masterpiece.

How can a piece of music even have enough time to breathe, develop and sink in the listener's ears without even being 3 minutes long - let alone be considered as one of the best songs of the year?

Am I just getting old, or is the average attention span shortening so much that even "art pop" has become a product to be consumed within the length of a reel?
