Heshers (
70s-
80s version) are mainly
suburban guys with long hair who lift
weights in their garages while listening to
Deep Purple or
Dio's Rainbow or
early
Journey or any era
Foghat. The
90s version favors the mullet and the
collected works of
Lemmy Kilminster and
Dave Mustaine, but both versions
have great difficulty achieving facial hair, instead preferring to sport a
wispy hint of a moustache or a pair of sideburns which resemble the dirt
that didn't come off in the bathtub last night.
Although the etymology of the word "Hesher" is uncertain (a variant called
"Hessian" has sprung up, with the origin of the name referring to the
traditional Gothic-style lettering of the logos and album covers of many
Hesher-identified heavy metal bands,) one thing is positive: Heshers live
only to Party, something they are easily able to accomplish even with the
cheapest 3.2 beer found at the local supermarket. Heshers have even been
known to unwittingly get shitfaced drunk on non-alcoholic beer, so great
is their genetic need to Party.
