It's probably that many other Vocaloids, had they been in the same place as Miku, would also have made Vocaloid popular. A lot of Miku's boom was due to timing – it was just when video sharing sites were coming into fore, and she appealed to a strong internet demographic. It is unlikely there is anything specific about teal twintails or cut-off sleeves that hypnotised the masses.
