I've seen other people saying he's the male version of Lady Gaga.

Nippon's character designs are geared more on "realistic" and "bishounen" look, that you obviously prefer, while MH's are cartoony, weird and jarring. This is intentionally done - inline with Togashi's art - to create a fantastic world were very different characters (physically and internally) interact in a seemingly normal way.
Remember Mr. Beans (Netero's secretary) and how jarring it was to see a physically short, bald man, whose head looked like a bean and has green-colored skin, talking to our cartoony "normally-drawn" protagonists? How about a realistically drawn Johness being killed by a cute boy in Killua?
Even the PT members have varied character designs - the realistic, the cartoony/cute, the weird.
