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'.)
Chill your tits! Just offer the heshers free beer to calm them down, then call animal control.

Holy crap, does that retarded 17-year-old who smells like cheap ganja actually have a blue mohawk, black skinny jeans, and a Kiss T-shirt? He's totals hesher!

Bro, if you keep going to Black Sabbath concerts, you might go hesher on me.

Hesher usually describes a certain kind of skater, e.g. TNT(Tony Trujillo) or Jim Greco. A hesher wears tight, worn out clothes and acts tough. Most pro skaters that are heshers acutally kick ass, but i hate poser kids who think they are the shit. Oh well, you got your definition, now go shred!!
Corey Duffel is a hesher.

3. A stringed / percussion band with a soprano vocalist fitting the above description. These musicians (and followers) usually look and sound more like women than men. (Examples: Poison, Winger, Great White etc.). These hesher bands usually have large followings of people in white trash neighborhoods. Common physical signs are their lack of teeth, due to a regular diet of crank tiners.

there may be an actual holy triumvirate of hesher movies which will visually assist the previous spot-on, classic definitions. i am aware of two such offerings which can do the word justic: "airheads" and "river's edge". runner-up but only peripherally: elements of "talk radio". "hesher" is sometimes confused with or used as a synonym for "hair farmer".
"crispin glover certainly makes a convincing hesher dude, dude."
