1. A user equipment device comprising:
display generator circuitry configured to generate for display:
a first plurality of media identifiers,
a second plurality of media identifiers, wherein the second plurality of media identifiers is representative of a group indicated by a first media identifier, and
a third plurality of options with respect to a media asset indicated by a second media identifier; and
control circuitry configured to:
upon input indicating that the first plurality of media identifiers is to be rotated, cause the display generator circuitry to rotate the second plurality of media identifiers with the first plurality of media identifiers based on a rotation of the first plurality of media identifiers, such that a position of each of the first plurality of media identifiers changes along a first circular path while continuing to be generated for display and a position of each of the second plurality of media identifiers changes along a second circular path while continuing to be generated for display,
wherein rotating the second plurality of media identifiers comprises synchronizing rotation of the second plurality of media identifiers with the first plurality of media identifiers wherein the second plurality of media identifiers are rotated in an opposite direction of the first plurality of media identifiers, wherein synchronizing the rotation comprises moving in a first direction the second plurality of media identifiers by a first number of positions which is interpolated from a number of positions the first plurality of media identifiers was moved in an opposite direction.
