    It's a branching of the Goth subculture, but less mopey and more hardcore. Industrial as a musical preference is a must, as well as German culture, where most Industrial comes from.
    Fashion is rather singular, from shaving your head to WWII soldier hairstyles, as well as aviator goggles, puffy pants and much leather.

    Rivetheads hate Hitler, and get this across by pissing people off into thinking they're Neo Nazis through their dress styles, when most of what they listen to is even more against war and human atrocities than black metal.

    Beware-the Rivethead is wise and intelligent, and will kick your ass in a debate, even if he's wrong, because he's got style, and they understand that this is what rules modern society.
    He is also very physically confrontational if you harass his Goth girlfriend, but only as a last resort-and you will bleed.
    A close cousin of the Steampunk Goth. Incidentally, only men can pull it off, Rivetheads usually having Goth girlfriends.

    Last but not least; Rivetheads never dance-they march. Army boots included. Only attend drinking sessions in bars that have German names, but are not situated in Germany. I myself much enjoyed Die Maschine back in the day, when I used to want to date every Rivethead I saw haha.

    Well, you have to listen to industrial metal. Skinny Puppy and KMFDM are good examples, NIN is a little poserish. These people usually dress in boots with many buckles or straps, gas masks, camouflage or cargo pants, trench coats (hence the term Trench Coat Mafia), and band t-shirts. I see these types wearing a lot of black and army colors. It came out of industrial metal, and people used the term "rivethead" to refer to the word "industrial".

    He, Well If you want to be an authentic Rivet head (poser) then go to www.sykospark.net/ home of the insta goth, rivet head punk and emo do it yourself kits. what every Real non conformist needs :P heh..

    Seriously...just find yourself a good club to hang out..learn about the music.. see how others dress and fit it to your own style.

    Southern california has a ton of clubs.. one of the more well known being Das Bunker..which is the largest industrial/harsh ebm/noise clubs outside of europe.(just celebrated 11 years) one of the other well know clubs is Perversion going on 10 now I think.

    Good groups... hum.. depends on which way you sway..
