Post rock, "AMATEURS!"
man, post rock is THE BEST to listen to
Horse listening to its favourite kind of rock 
I wish TTRPG battle/ambience music tracks would be at least 10min long, even if they are looped by their creators. So many tracks are great that I buy but are only 2-3min long and aren't created to loop naturally. So my table is constantly listening to the intro/outro sections that tend to be more attention grabbing. I've had to learn to use audacity to fade them in and out but it's extra labor that doesn't always work.
Load them in mixxx, and then hit the 16- or 32-bar loop button on the sections you want to repeat.
Never heard of that before. I'll check that out. Thanks!
It's a great, foss DJ app. It gets better every time I pull it out to tinker with it. I'm not a DJ, but it's a powerful tool.
This is more of an exception, but melodic death metal joins the table (OK, it's actually just above 19 minutes)

Black metal should also be here.
I feel the need to drop a link to some doom metal for any newcomers!

Same with deathcore (I seriously envy his vocal talents)
Lorna Shore - Pain Remains I-III https://youtu.be/e1zb_c0nyXc?si=utSRmTwm5RtCG-uO
That's basicly three songs and it's not typical for deathcore. Still an awsome band.

Also post rock
Godspeeds are so good, for me it's classical music reimagined with new instrumenty.

Also an experience: a longer overarching story across an entire album.
Examples: Metropolis pt. 2 (Dream Theater), or basically anything Ayreon.
The term for that is Concept Album.
They began in the 40s and 50s and really took off in the 60s and 70s. They died out in the 80s and gained popularity again in the 2000s with emo and pop punk bands like MCR, Green Day, Boys Night Out and more.
Funeral Doom Metal is too occupied walloping in a blacked pit of despair to join the chat
Damn, I've heard of black metal and doom metal, but funeral doom metal? Metal subgenres continue to get more specific lol
Pretty soon, there's going to be gloomy metal genres so specific that they're named after specific funeral plots and mausoleums.

Considering it's the norm when you aren't doing something genre typical to take two ir more genres and just smoish the names together. This way you get things like blackened death metal (black plus death) or epic gothic power metal (take a guess). Now smoosh those teo examples together and you get something like blackened gothic melodic death metal. See that there, now we get into the transformative properties of metal subgenres. Death metal with a bit more melody and structure, which power metal has in spades, becomes melodic death metal.
Fun isn't it? Also I may have bullshitted together half of the above. But it is a real thing

I mixed prog rock/metal with electronic and the resulting industrial metal somehow cuts songs down to 5-7 minutes.

Hey babe, want to hear my mixtape? It's all Rush and there's only like four songs but it's two hours long.
No wait, please come back....
Hey, I love all of these
Classical music is still looking down at you from above. Kaikhosru Sorabji especially. He wrote a piece for piano that lasts 8 to 9 hours.

And live versions of worship music.
Nine Inch Nails: Let's do all three. At the same time.
20 minutes? Classical music? Prog rock? Have we been listening to the same NIN?
May I introduce you all to the decline.

I'd rather have a concept album of songs that play into each other and advance the narrative than one 20 minute song. I hate progressive music. I used to bounce at a bar whose owner's son would book bands, and 90% were prog bands. Averaged 14 minutes a song, brought in lots of people who bought zero drinks but lots of waters. And they were all dickheads.

Classical music can also be much longer. Symphonies, masses, or operas are many hours long. Kind of like an album of dozens of the shorter 20 minute pieces.

Also 90% of songs by the Swans.
When some filthy casual calls a piece of classical music a "song"

I think Watsky's "Lovely Thing Suite" would be better as a 20 minute song, it ended up releasing as 4 songs that technically flow into eachother but it's a little janky.
