Yes, I'm sure that's exactly what frame builders everywhere think about when designing top-notch frames: Is this emo, goth, or punk??
you must have not been involved in cycling for very long if you think that aesthetics do not change over the years. the over-anodized neon mountain bikes of the mid 90s certainly are not in fashion anymore because a majority of atb riders prefer a different style these days.
the all-white matchy-matchy fixed gear is certainly played out. and aesthetics play a major role in cycling - much more than you're willing to admit.
and do you really think this frame is "top-notch"?
