There is probably an interesting article to be written about how the pursuit of superficial qualities harms deep qualities. E.g. rock bands of the 70s tended to be quite ugly, but they made great music, while bands today look very good, but make terrible music.

Amusingly, Sir Ive is an example of both: back when he was a goofy mustachioed designer he came up with beautiful designs like the iMac, and then when he spent time at the gym and getting fancy T-shirts he produced … a bunch of metal-and-glass rectangles, and disaster of an HQ.

Imma have to disagree with you hard on the first paragraph haha. Rock became oversaturated and stagnated as a genre, I'm not sure the clothes had much to do with it.
