Rivethead

Rivethead refers to people that are fans or performers of industrial music, which is influenced by electro-industrial, electronic body music, and industrial rock music. Industrial music was started by the band Throbbing Gristle, which ended up forming a genre that is noisy and abrasive, combining rock and electronica.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivethead
==Music==
The rivethead scene is remotely related but not directly connected to the industrial music culture. Industrial music is a genre of experimental and avant-garde music, intertwined with graphical visualization (mostly with disturbing graphical content). The absence of conventional song structures, such as rhythm and melody, is a main characteristic of the genre, whereas the music preferred by the rivethead scene includes several danceable and song-oriented styles that are sometimes considered "post-industrial". Like post-punk, the term post-industrial describes a musical genre that developed distinctly from its roots and turned into several strands of sound, namely electro-industrial, electronic body music, and industrial rock, often referred to as industrial dance music. Those styles differ from traditional industrial music regarding aesthetics, sound, and production techniques.
Below are some Industrial genres:
*Industrial is the original genre formed by Throbbing Gristle. Industrial takes a lot of inspiration from noise genres, with rather unconventional methods such as recording with raw materials, white noise and heavy synthesizer use. 
*Industrial Rock Includes Skinny Puppy, Ministry, Nietzer Ebb, Cabaret Voltaire, and Front 242
*Industrial Metal is the combination of Industrial with Metal. As such, it is especially characterized by loud, distorted guitars. Industrial Metal saw huge success in the 90s and early 2000s, with acts such as Marilyn Manson, Powerman 5000, White/Rob Zombie, Godflesh, and more.
**Neue Deutsche Harte is described as an offshoot of Industrial Metal, combining it with other forms of metal such as alternative metal or groove metal. NDH formed in countries such as Germany and Austria, hence the German-name, which translates to "new German hardness". NDH's most prominent feature is the accentuation of certain words or notes- which gives a song an unorganized but punchy sound- and mostly deep, growling male vocals. The most well known NDH bands are Rammstein and KMFDM.
*Electro-Industrial/Aggrotech with aggro being slightly more modern, when aggressive industrial rhythms meets techno, very dancey and sometimes crosses over with Neue Deutsche Harte
*EBM is dance music rooted in industrial.
*Power Electronics A huge risk for getting tinnitus
