Rivethead is a word that chase basically made popular. There is a cd on reconstriction that is called rivethead culture. I have also heard rumors that iron maiden fans were called rivetheads as well as its another meaning for dick head. Because I have rivethead tattooed on me...I basically think of my self as a person that is into electronic music. The gear (which i also have on the tatoo) means other things too.

Yes, I'm sure Chase was the one who popularized this, BUT there is another
defination for 'rivet' besides his. A rivet is like an industrial strength
screw for the purpose of heavy duty machines and the like. Therefore,
'rivetheads' are people into the industrial sub-culture (duh). My out of
date drafting book has a better description than mine, but that is at
school unfortunately. Anyhow, hope this helps.

I didn't originate the word, but I heard a friend use it a loooong time ago, and then I
popularized it with my Rivethead Culture compilation. The words I actually coined
were synthcore, torture-tech, digicore, and kitchen sequencing (granted, nobody has
ever used that last one, myself included). Brian McNelis over at Cleopatra used the term
'gutter-tech' in an issue of Nexus Six and DJ Adam at San Diego's Room 13 created the
word 'necrotech', both of which I think are cool.

I'm still trying to get this 'heatwave' music to catch on.

Sex, Drugs, and Star-Wars.

Terms like this come from sick minds that are obsessed with Boba-Fett.

I think this is all a bunch of bullshit personally, I just felt like
adding that I've heard "necrotech" refering to gabber/hardcore techno

And don't forget about the term "coldwave" which I believe was coined by
Don Blanchard from 21st. Circuitry.

Has it occured to anyone participating in this thread (or indeed this
newsgroup) how incredibly ASININE all of these terms are?

I think Jared from Chemlab coined that one, but Don popularized it. Jared also
introduced me to the word 'angel-dustrial'.

Yes, it was a nickname for Iron Maiden fans, away back in the late 80's, though
not a very universal one.
