riverhead

A town located on Long Island ( which is NOT part of NYC) in between the North and South Forks (and no, it's not part of the Hamptons either). Also known as River-Hood to many of its inhabitants, though it may be noted that is only ok for people from Riverhead to call it that. Otherwise it's just plain rude. It may also be called home to the best Middle School (and High School too, while we're at it) track team, the best cross country team, the best Latin program... You get the picture.

E.G: Those kids from Riverhead kicked our butts in _______ (fill in the blank here) yesterday.

Rivethead

A dystopian, fashion, and musical subculture, that embraces chaos, and anger. Similar to the Punk Subculture, in it's need to stand apart from Society's 'Normal' , rivetheads try to make a statement visually and verbaly. They listen to Industrial themed artists and bands such as: Combichrist, Angelspit, Rammstein, Geist Kinder, Modulate, and Nine Inch Nails. Rivethead fasion is mostly black or dark clothing consisting of: combat boots, Military Jackets or shirts, goggles, gas masks or respirators, industrial music shirts, bondage harnesses, and straps, chains, and badges, patches, or medals. It is not uncommon for a rivet head to shave their head completely bald, or into a short Mohawk. Rivetheads, usually associate with members of the goth or punk subculture, but are not members themselves, even though their political, and social views may be similar. Rivetheads enjoy solitude or small social gatherings in decrepit settings such as junkyards, abandoned warehouses, or condemned buildings. When they do attend large social gatherings it is in either a club or concert setting.

OMG Bill, I almost called that Rivethead "goth", I bet he would have tried kicking my ass if I did.

THIS BEAT IS SICK! THIS IS DEFINITELY SOME RIVETHEAD STOMPING MUSIC!

Riverhead

A place where absolutely nothing happens. The county seat for suffolk county, and pretty much the center of all of long island, riverhead is very boring. There may be an outlet center, and a shitload of stores and car dealerships, but other than that riverhead blows. Riverhead high school, the home of the fake "orange" spray on tan, as well as fake people, is also the home of the blue waves, who kick major ass in everything EXCEPT LACROSSE. Many long island gangs and nationwide gangs such as the crips and bloods have made themselves at home in the greens, and main street, where machete slayings occur weekly at a local MS-13 owned bar. drugs are part of daily riverhead life, riverhead is the home of many ethnicities which mainly keep to themselves, and live in separate areas of the town too. (commonly referred to as riverhood, but only by the kids who live in riverhead. also home to the worlds biggest whores.. like. biggest)
