He's a raver, isn't he? Goth raver? Seems like a pretty obvious gimmick to me...

Role Model. Hey kids, dying your hair purple is cool like it was in 1997 (oh wait it wasn't cool then either, just more widespread)

Jeff Hardy is America's version of "Das Wunderkind" Alex Wright, complete with a goofy dance all his own. Here's the tasty Italian cannoli, Alyssa Milano...

A "strange" guy who dreamt of becoming a WWF (WWE didn't exist back then) Superstar, and after years of insane training and hard work he did it. Then his passion for "funny stuff" almost made him throw it all away, but he managed to come back in style.
Is this a gimmick? Maybe. But the important thing is that Jeff Hardy is over as hell, and his "gimmick" is working. Probably because it looks (and it is) real. more than many others.

He's the survivor of a paint factory explosion.

You know one thing that I kept waiting for? I wanted a Hardy/Hardy feud that was not based on jealousy, but Matt (who always seemed to be the one who had been more obsessed with wrestling) deciding that little crother was a liability in his quest for become WWF champ. Jeff could have countered that at first it was his feelings about his big brother that caused him to get into the business in the first place, and that it was not until later that his love for his fans became his motivation. He would have never gotten in Matt's way, unless one or the other had the title and the other challenged for it. I think that both of them could have pulled off the roles just fine.

He's a 13 year old Linkin Park fan who's still over because of a match that happened over 6 years ago. If he never jumped off a ladder he wouldn't have a job right now. I disagree... A lot of people jumped off ladders, but few of them managed to stay over, and even less stayed over after having been "away" for some years. According to your logic, the same goes for Matt Hardy, but add that he has a job because his girlfriend cheated on him and he cried about it on the net. Or Foley is over because he fell off a cage years ago. Or Flair/Hogan/Austin etc are over because they used to be great some years ago. I agree the crazy spots helped Jeff to get over, but saying he's still relying on it and on the "welcome back" pop, it's a bit off IMO

I'm pretty sure it's "guy on PCP." Yeah, that's what I thought too.

Weird flippy guy? Truly though, his gimmick is kind of vague. People just like him because he's a weird flippy guy. He's too strange to be saddled with silly gimmicks.
