Gon's Performance Persona

I was introduced to this group on PEAK TIME. I have followed them since, and root for them (from USA). I noticed from "Form" to present, Gon's performance persona seems different. He was more edgy: hairstyle, jewelry, and his dance. He had a different physicality/sexuality (to my senses more masculine); and he had a more urban/street vibe to himself and the way he danced. I ask, not in way of criticism, he is my bias, but I was interested in what Vanner fans' opinions are about this. I happen to like that edginess; it brought another texture to the group (not that it is gone completely just more muted) but I remain a fan.
