"Ästhetik Baby" addresses a widespread contradiction of our time: values that are strongly emphasized lose their binding force precisely when they become inconvenient.

Falk comments:

"The text emerged from the observation that today, having a stance is often tied to lifestyle. As long as everything fits, values are clear -- but the moment they would have real consequences, they become negotiable. As soon as things get uncomfortable, relativization sets in quickly."

The song is not directed against specific social groups or political positions, but against a form of moral self-description that operates more through aesthetics than through consistency. Convictions are displayed, signaled, and communicated -- but rarely upheld.

"Ästhetik Baby" describes this condition without lecturing. The song names a zeitgeist in which what is right often only applies as long as it remains comfortable -- and is relativized the moment it becomes inconvenient.
