It’s an aesthetic decision.
Do you mean where people use it as an adjective? E.g., ‘This house is very aesthetic’ where they mean ‘beautiful’?
How are people using it wrong? How should it be used instead? We (I) cannot guess context…
There was a viral short featuring someone using it wrong, a bunch of younger people cribbed from the video and started using it wrong.
Okay, just so I don’t get annoyed and be boomery about it, what is the new incorrect usage?
Using it as an adjective, to mean “has a pleasing aesthetic.”
Words take on new meanings sometimes due to cultural experiences, and the new usage of the word is one of those meanings.
