You've just made the point that everyone's been arguing with you about. It's not a question of whether the fashion is contrived, which is a moot point. It's a question of whether their fashion, whether contrived or otherwise, is a good one. For instance, Nirvana looked cool. They had cool fashion (for the time, a bit dated now). It was uncontrived, but it was still a fashion. The Nation of Ulysses or The Bad Seeds look the shit. It is contrived. Some bands have contrived fashion and look shit (The Stereophonics' third album makeover). Some bands have un-contrived, or contrived to be un-contrived, fashion, and look shit (Nickelback).
