hesher

1: (n.) A person infatuated with the heavy metal culture of America in the 1980s. Such individuals almost exclusively drop out of high school to join a pathetic cover band, wear Metallica T-shirts and leather pants, and are often found living at rock concerts or in their parents' basements. The only profession in which heshers are qualified to work is as waitstaff at a Hard Rock Cafe. Ironically, though many heshers are not old enough to have experienced the 1980s, they still collect obsolete vinyl records and have the terrible misconception that Motley Crue is still a popular band. The definition of hesher may partially coincide with the definitions of goth or baker. Etymology: derived from 'Hessian', referring to masculine Germanic mercenaries from Hesse. (These mercenaries were actually chill, unlike heshers, who likely were not even popular during the 1980s.) 2: (adj.) Of or relating to heshers or hesher culture. Also 'hessian'. (cf. the related concept 'emo'.)
