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.
