What length is too short/long of a song in your opinion?

I know it can depend on genres and other factors, but whenever I make a song, I usually go for 3-4 minutes. I don't know why but making a 2 minute song isn't satisfying enough for me, but that may change in the future.

Recently, even 4-minute tracks are not long enough for me anymore haha

depends on how interesting they can keep the song over time

I can barely hit the three minute mark, much less four. Most of my song are around a minute and a half, but when I'm actually trying to make something it tends to be around two, two and a half minutes. I'd like to try and make something closer to four or five, but I'm just not that good at variation, and keeping things interesting.

actually scratch that, I've been making stuff a lot closer to thirty seconds lately

My personal taste after listening to electronic music for at least 30 years:

  • 3 minutes for an Intro or experimental stuff, funny things, etc.
  • 5-7 minutes for a regular track
  • up to 10 minutes with long intro/outro (extended editions)
  • everything above should be a story with multiple subjects

Below 3 mins is too short
6 minutes and more is a bit long, with some...exceptions.
