Rivethead (night 2) {Halloween '010}

A culture that has been since the dawn of industrial production. They are known as workers of the assembly line who work tooth and nail breaking back and bone for our civilization. They were first industrial workers who protested against Communism before it got into Russia creating the Soviet Union. They saw the evils of Progressive governments that was everywhere from regimes down to socialism. Their culture was defined by the late 80's through inspiration by gothic culture, they went from wearing industrial jumpsuits and simple respirators to donning dusters, beater shirts, bullet proof vests, industrial utility belts, leather or camo pants and platform steel toed or stomp boots. They kept the assembly line gear such as respirators, gas masks and otherwise industrial protection, they added industrial necklaces and rings to their appearance making their culture less appealing to fashionistas. Their music goes as far back as the late 70's when post-punk met techno music or hardcore punk met machinery music giving birth to Industrial music or Industrial rock. Later in the late 80's came Industrial Metal which married industrial music to heavy metal and added electronica. The 90's brought some attention in the media to industrial music, by the early 00's rivethead culture and music became a huge teen rebellion! Teens everywhere listened to industrial metal and wore the fashions of rivetheads though they were referred to as 'drones' or mall-rivetheads. Rivetheads expressed their hatred capitolism as much as metalheads, punks and hippies did. Their music videos often show controversial material to make political statements about communism, fascism, monarchism and imperialism.
