The slang term “aesthetic warning” refers to a phrase used when someone posts content online that may be visually disturbing or unsettling. It serves as a preface to let others know that the material may not be suitable for sensitive viewers.
This term originated from the practice of using trigger warnings before sharing potentially distressing content, particularly on platforms like social media. An “aesthetic warning” specifically indicates that the content might be disturbing to look at or could evoke negative emotions based on its visual nature.
Example 1: I just saw a video on TikTok with an aesthetic warning. It was a gory makeup tutorial for a Halloween costume, showing some realistic-looking wounds.
Example 2: The photographer shared a photo gallery on her website, but there was an aesthetic warning at the beginning. The pictures depicted graphic scenes from a war, visually capturing the brutality and harsh reality of conflict.
