Richey's (and the rest of the band's) dramatic shifts in clothing and appearance seem to demonstrate to his fans that identity is a construct which can be discarded and altered at will.
Richey himself seemed to draw the adoration of the fans through a combination of being their ideal (in that he was very beautiful and intelligent) and also reflecting parts of themselves (in that he felt like a failure, was very insecure, unable to have a close relationship and suffered from depression).
Fans of Richey who use him in their construction of their identities are only one example of the ways in which mass media (and society as a whole) is increasingly presenting opportunities for diversification in the formation and presentation of identity.

I think Richey was the greatest lyricist of the 90's but i don't think he will be recognised as that.He deserves to be given credit because of his lyrics, yeah he had his personal demons but he was a nice guy who just wrote what he thought of the world around him.
Richey was a firebrand lyricist, an amazing rock and roll icon, and a very troubled man. I don't know whether he's dead or alive, or whether he'll ever come back, but for what he and his bandmates have done for me, I truly hope he's found happiness.
