It was redefined a fourth time as "an experience where one’s gender is related to or influenced by aesthetics or sensory experiences. While many people may use this identity label on its own, it can also be used to describe a wide variety of different genders. It falls under the xenogender umbrella of identities.
People who are aesthetigender may experience gender based on aesthetics such as color schemes, scenes from pieces of media, fashion from different time periods, or decorations and colors from holidays. If their gender is based on sensory experiences, that can usually involve things such as bright sunlight, soft materials, frigid or sweltering weather, wind or rain, and many others.
Many -coric genders fall under this identity, including angelcoric (based on angelcore), cringecoric based on cringecore), fairycoric (based on fairycore), lovecoric (based on lovecore), and many more. It’s important to note that not all aesthetigenders are based on -coric genders. This list shows up to 628 known aesthetigenders.
A similar identity would be noungender."5
