I just don't get why he is revered more than a lot of other standard slasher characters of the day.

I don't think they're slashers.
I don't understand that you don't understand he became an icon.
He's got a unique look: the burned skin, the hat, the sweater and the glove.
He has his own song. He's got a cool, catchy name. And a short but solid background story.
What else do you need?
I think he's a lot more interesting than Michael Myers for example.

Its a simple horror movie with a great premise. Stop overthinking and enjoy the fun.

I remember seeing part 2 when I was 9 and I had nightmares for about 2 weeks.
There was a scene where Freddy crawled out of someone's skin and I was so scared I slept on my stomach so he couldn't get out.
