I'd look at em.

I definitely think many of us have short attention spans today and want things that are more obviously appealing. There's such an enormous amount of content and I think in that environment, having some obvious stand-out feature(s) or larger identity becomes more important.
It's not just their music which often lacks the instant gratification we increasingly want. It's most things about them. Without a stronger identity, they just more become what they actually are - old, white men. I think that affects how they're viewed today. Dad rock isn't cool.
But we don't have to agree. That's fine.

Agree to disagree on not having a strong identity I guess. I don't think it's entirely irrelevant, I just doubt that costumery is as large of a driving force behind public opinion as you're making it out to be. Does it hamper your appreciation of the group or something?
