Hessians were a counter culture movement in the 90's. A typical Hessian would have long hair, and wear either jeans that had holes, or pants that were made into shorts with a pair of scissors, and they would fray at the bottom. Hessians were the first to popularize cargo shorts. They would also wear boots, hemp and sea shell necklaces. They would put lots of stickers on their guitars, use duct tape on drum sticks, etc. Hessians were about partying and having a good time.
Wayne's World is about the Hessian rocker culture.
