If you like to sound pretentious, yes it is.
"Curate" — Annoying or Really Annoying? — Lisa Roe Editorial
Digital content. Hotel minibars. Cheese plates. Photos of beards. They’re all things I’ve recently seen described as “curated.” Doesn’t it seem like there’s way too much “curating” going on now? Once used mainly in the realm of museums or art collections, “curate” is now applied to just about any l

It's not just my opinion.
Please Stop Using the Word “Curated”
Simply picking or putting things together that supposedly go well together is not what curating is fundamentally about.

‘Reading lists, outfits, even salads are curated – it’s absurd’
Everyone is a curator these days, but what does curationism tell us about our society? And does the process of selection and arrangement add any value?
The Rise and Fall of Vogue Words - The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation
In the last two weeks, on various radio and television programs, I have heard the word granular used no less than five times, in sentences like “The commission was hoping for a granular analysis of the problem.” The word got my attention, but I didn’t know what it was supposed to mean. All I knew

Answer to the question 'can you curate anything?' is yes. If you're sifting through a collection of things selecting and caring for them, then ordering them in a way intended to afford them maximum appreciation, you're participating in an act of curation. That collection of things can be anything at all. To claim otherwise is snobbery.
That the term is overused and often applied in situations where the care and selectivity are minimal doesn't change the above.

You’re just scrabbling around to confirm you own prejudices. It’s yours and several other members of the commentariat’s opinion, not fact. Meanwhile, normal people use the word normally and without pretension. We know what it means and care not for fusty gatekeepers who think it’s up to them to decide how people use wordsIt's not just my opinion.

Yes. I work in a library. But the area I’ve heard it used, and used it, most often is in DJing cos it’s EXACTLY the right word to describe it.It's a wanky word used by wankers. Unless you work in a museum I guess. Do you actually say it out loud in conversation OU?
