I honestly have a deep appreciation for a tonne of different aesthetics
Aesthetic decoration is one of the key ways humans quickly communicate their concepts of self, belonging and personal expression. These displays of passion through the rather mundane reality of decor is a true magic to me and as such I respect almost all expressions of it!
As for other aesthetics I vibe with though on a personal level...
Through my teens, I was a punk-rocker, skater and theatre kid, before mellowing out into a combination Beatnik and Artist™ in my early 20s. I still have a fair bit of the struggling artist vibe going on irl, but I'm less depressed about it and lean towards a lot more colour and light there now.
I really like "cryptid core" and to a lesser extent "cottage core" which is to say I'm a lesbian who likes flannels, monster flicks and loves flowers. Aesthetics are often grouped into some pretty prescriptive labels and whilst this can be helpful as a starting point, just like with gender, I think it's extremely useful to build your own expression through carefully considered research and experimentation.
Overall I vibe with sustainable lifestyles, things that are close to nature and with core human expressions. I love art and media, those two things are genuinely the foundation of my soul and most of my interests stem from the excitement and joy I experience seeing all the different ways people have creatively expressed themselves. I'm attracted to objects and environments that reflect the will of their owners and/or embody the history of a movement. It's part of why I love old tech and adore it when people customize things for themselves.
I know this is a bit of a rant/ramble and likely more involved than you where expecting. But Aesthetics I feel are a window into the soul and there is something beautiful about that!
