I have a bone to pick, specifically with the way we treat aesthetics as a lifestyle. I accept that aesthetics can be a statement, a form of expression, and even a culture. To avoid any confusion, when thinking of aesthetics as culture or a proper lifestyle, goth, emo, or alt are all great examples. Therefore, when I say aesthetic is a culture, I mean there is a profound background and history. A lifestyle is the way someone lives, and when an aesthetic turns into an improper lifestyle, it loses its meaning.
