Rivethead
As Rivethead or rivethead refers to the members of the Canadian and US post-industrial culture. This is strongly based on cyberpunk and thus on a dystopian worldview. The English word rivet means ' rivet ' or 'metal bolt', head is translated as ' fan '. The name probably spread through the compilation Rivet Head Culture , which contains songs by artists from the North American electro-industrial and industrial rock environment.
Characteristic for many followers of the scene is the martial appearance using military clothing such as camouflage shirts and trousers, leather, field and bomber jackets as well as combat boots and cap toe boots (Underground Shoes, Getta Grip, Dr. Martens etc.), often combined with hairstyles such as undercut , Flat top and mohawk and the punk attitude .
Personalities such as Kevin Graham Ogilvie alias Nivek Ogre ( Skinny Puppy ), Wilhelm Schroeder alias Bill Leeb ( Front Line Assembly ), Sascha Konietzko ( KMFDM ), Trent Reznor ( Nine Inch Nails ) and Bryan exerted an essential influence on the appearance of Rivethead culture Erickson ( Velvet Acid Christ ) from.
Although she can often be found together with Goths in discos and nightclubs, Rivethead culture - like the European EBM scene that is closely related to it - is differentiated from Gothic culture .
