A person who listens to industrial music. Characteristics/stereotypes of rivetheads include:
1) Anger at everything
2) That anger turning into a "More Rivet than Thou" attitude
3) A constant drive to find obscure industrial music
4) A great affection with Germany
5) A great affection with the millitary, without promoting or condoning war or violence (only violence to those lesser than you)
6) In depth knowledge of the entire history of the subculture
7) In depth knowledge of all types of industrial
8) Worship of the bands: Skinny Puppy, Throbbing Gristle, Coil, (and for the lesser rivet's) Nine Inch Nails
9) Interest in the government and what the government is up to
10) A dislike of glowsticks and ravers
Rivetheads tend to dress eaither in black, or in a millitary fashion. It is characteristic for a rivet to shave his/her head. It is also characteristic to wear goggles. The more 'industrial' in nature, the better. The industrial subculture has a vauge coherant thought, along the lines of "machines are powerful and should eaither be respected or feared."

Any impossible get-rich-quick or love at first sight type gimmick that was used to exploit legions of immigrants and blind, hopeful dreamers once upon a time.
This dream is especially important in an individualistic, greedy society in which wealth equals true human value. To many, the American dream is to become rich or famous. To some, it is to be extremely happy.
Both will lead to ruin and leave the dreamers disillusioned.

F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy both discuss the downfalls of the American Dream.
