That usage always bugs the shit out of me, to the point that I had to refer back to English classes to figure out why. It is an adjective, but it is not a predicate adjective like it’s used here. It is an attributive adjective and has to be used in conjunction with the noun that it’s modifying.
“She made good aesthetic choices.” -Yes
“These flowers are aesthetic.” -No
thank you for looking it up. i always fuck up adverbs and adjectives so there was no way i was pulling out attributive adjective.
i just knew they were wrong and i was right. now if you don’t mind ive got some clouds at which i need to go shake my fist.
This isn't a grammar issue but a semantic one: if you make an aesthetic choice, that choice is aesthetic
In this context aesthetic means "aesthetic[ly in line with me/the situation]". It means big mood, but for style.
It is in the kids lingo
this is my hill. don’t tell me where to die.
Words are how we use them. If people can understand the meaning, it is correct. There’s no central body like in French saying how words must be. This allows English to be flexible and grow to the needs of the speakers.
Descriptive languages > prescriptive languages.
you know, i think you’re right - and in further support of your argument allow me to point out that the commment directly below yours says, ‘what is it even supposed to mean in this context?’
eh, not everyone will get the meaning the first time they encounter a new usage, but if it makes sense to most people it'll be used more
What is it even supposed to mean in this context?
the yns are using it to mean aesthetically pleasing. good lookin’. put together. cute.

Can Barbies really sit like that now? I remember them having those straight legs with clicky knees that couldn't really bend that much.
A lot of things are possible with a knife and a lighter.

We have the technology, we can rebuild her
Normal and aesthetic have nothing to do with how destroyed that bathroom is.
"Ka-blooey!"
"oh they're gonna hafta gluu yuu back together, IN HELL"
Gotta love when people try to use "big" words they think sound cool but don't know how to use, it isn't complete cringe at all.
WTF is a bathroom?
Pretty sure that's where Saddam held his party meetings
You can be aesthetic.
Know how I know? They said it, and many of us understood it.
The longest word in that sentence is 8 letters...

Your letter count, much like the word in question, is wrong.
Shit
Anyway 9 is still not exactly "long"
Which is why I specifically had "big" in quotation marks.
Just a small loan of some God given bodily assets, a touch of charisma, and probably not at risk of being homeless if drops out of education and becomes an adult with no other tangible skills. Also we only see the 1% of the 1% who succeed. For all of them I expect many ended up in actual porn or at least OnlyFans.
I'm fun at parties.
Ynthrepic, what the fuck are you talking about?
Explain the meme for me. I may just have a synical mind that goes to dark places.
The meme is about shitting a giant log.
Yeah, I have no idea how I misread that as "blew up on the internet".
