Yes because that's a noun and not an adjective

You better be referring to the late 90s studio display monitor or we are about to have words. Also yeah we’ve been using aesthetic as sort of a synonym “the look” (but also a very specific curated look) for over a decade? It’s pretty millennial, honestly

I've always thought of "aesthetic" as meaning a picture or scene like stock photos, where everything is clean, happy, composed. Like this pictures of women laughing while eating salad, or shampoo commercials, stuff like that.

Or, hey, we'll just call it "X" X's are super cool, right? Has Musk built an X shaped mansion or skyscraper yet? Because that's definitely coming. You know what? The first thing I thought of when I saw these things was the virtual sex scenes in Demolition Man and Minority Report and immediately wondered how soon these folks would try to emulate that poo poo. TBH, a glaring oversight by Apple really because if that poo poo worked there'd be a line of men wrapped around every Apple store in the country right now.

Tiggum posted:Are people honestly not understanding the use of the word "aesthetic" in this context or is this a joke or reference I'm not getting? I mean, I obviously know what the word literally means. If I didn't I'm currently using a tool that can tell me the definition of any word in any language, so instead of looking stupid on SA (too late!) I'd have just looked it up. What confuses me is how kids use the word. Has it become just a way of saying "I'm playing pretend on the internet, and what I'm pretending is that I'm somehow worth paying attention to while I contrive to look like I'm in a perfume ad?"

I and many others have told you what it means and now you're just being a fuckin goon refusing to understand normal things.
