The use of the word aesthetic as a verb in the last several years blows my mind.

Anyhow, yeah, we dress different when we're kids. I don't think too many people are shocked by this.

It's used as a noun here? I'm confused

"the aesthetic" was always a noun, dude

Yes, not a verb, which is why I'm confused

the verb is aesthetical "It's not aesthetically pleasing"

That's an adjective & adverb... "pleasing" is the verb in the example you give, "aesthetically" describes the verb

Surely that's an adjective and adverb respectively?
