Step 4:Choose the art style you want.

n-gen offers different styles: DNA, top-ten, bloom, and chords. Under each category, you find a bunch of customizations: what kind of Spotify data you want to use (recently played, top tracks), what color background you want, etc. FYI, the DNA visualization is particularly fun — and includes a Barbie themed background!

Step 6:Learn more about your data.

Under each artwork, you can scroll down and learn more about why your visualization looks the way it is. Under "Chords", for example, n-gen will explain the theme, energy, pattern of the artwork depending on your musical tastes.
