Post world war 2, it is basically music that features repetition and iteration. Here is an example. A piece by Morton Feldman, his piano and string quartet (1985), it's about an hour and twenty minutes long.
I do like minimalism, although not all of it. There are different degrees of minimalism - not everything is Terry Riley's In C.
I don't think minimalist pieces are necessarily long, so I don't get that criticism.
