Joe has become such a rivithead, he won't listen to anything other than industrial any more!

Someone into the Industrial scene, with a fuck all attitude. Not to be mistaken for punk or goth and if called one will promptly kick your ass. Defined by their fashion, attitude, and the music they listen to.

Despite being booed by his classmates, JJ was the class rivithead all year because the teacher kept mentioning romance poetry and J.J. loved anything with the word "romance" in it.
