Thank you! But this is done exactly by demo scene technology!

I was thinking a WinAmp visualization preset, myself.

I feel the limits of this style and want to try something new. What style for a loading icon do you prefer?

I've enjoyed developing music visualization software with OpenGL/GLSL for many years, a very old example on yt (I just don't upload there anymore).

Demoscene has existed since the invention of computer graphics and there are endless samples of graphics effects you can pull/learn from.

There's even some social media sites dedicated to this sort of thing like dwitter.net, where they challenge people to create graphics within limitations and they provide the shaders.

The community for graphics programming is vast, they just don't call themselves "loadingicons", and this subreddit has been far outside of loading icons for a while, lol.
