A "design" style by engineers who build interfaces that are characterized by functional minimalism, visual austerity, and an absence of emotional or sensory intelligence. They produce systems that are logically sound but clunky, and unmistakably lacking in experiential refinement.
The term plays on "terminal" in two senses: computational (evoking command-line terminals, where interaction is textual, flat, and unforgiving), and existential (suggesting a kind of design that is lifeless or hostile to organic experience).

A phrase quoted by individuals who believe their life constitutes that of an Instagram profile. A trusty film camera, mug of black coffee and a tennis skirt is all you need to characterise your morning as an "aesthetic morning".
Also: Used ironically to mock someone who believes their morning routine is 'aesthetic' (or) A mocking alternative to "aesthetic warning".
