I've only skimmed through this, but on a quick glance it seems nothing more than the usual need to make something out of nothing... writers with nothing better to do trying to make sense of (codify, identify, what-have-you) a torrent of non-related material .
Technology has enabled/emboldened many more people to "create" stuff, whether it has any artistic merit or not. Some people feel the ensuing tsunami of material needs sorting/classifying (though god knows why - who cares?) and "the new aesthetic" is the name they have come up with.
There is no "new aesthetic" - just new technology. Before instagram (for example), people made marks on paper, some good, some not so good. The thought process is the same, the technology has changed, that's all.
