Pleasing to the eye; in online terms it is an annoying way to refer to a type of visually pleasing social media feed. Sometimes, the 'aesthetic' can differ from individual to individual; a person cn have a pastelish aesthetic while other can have an aesthetic involving dark colors.

Oh my God! Your feed is so aesthetic! love the random and unnecessary pictures of leaves...

Aesthetic

An ironic way of expressing something that was presumably done on purpose, but is, in fact, representative of the fact that you are a hot mess.

I just spilled coffee on myself. Aesthetic.

aesthetic

A meta-state that has a discrete beginning in linear time but no end in cyclical time.

Aesthetic can be deconstructed in this way: light has a discrete beginning (a past beginning) but colors (parts of light) come from the future.
