It could be anything. What appealing qualities could an artist have and how broad is potentially each of those qualities? They can be sexy, cool, outspoken on issues that are important to you, be relatable on a personal/intimate level through social media, appear on SNL, act in movies, look badass in a leather jacket or with corpse paint on. There are many ways to be appealing and many ways to connect with a band or an artist.

In terms of identity shtick, it's just sub cultures and marketing has evolved a lot. Bands that perhaps were competitive back then wouldn't necessarily be had they appeared today.
