Used unkindly by punk rockers as "Look at that stupid hesher over there with the Megadeth album.", I have no idea where it comes from. (ed: any suggestions?) One suggestion came from Michael: In Los Angeles word was in use as early as 1980. I remember being a big "Tubes" fan and describing the people that wore "Rush" concert baseball shirts (black with white sleeves), drove Camaros and wore mullet haircuts as Heshers. If I had to guess the orgin; I would say it was because Heshers used to smoke a lot of hash (Hasher - Hesher?). Hash was very popular in Los Angeles in the late 70's. (ed: Any advance on that?)
In the early/mid 90s I had a friend from York, PA (I was living in/near NYC at the time) who used the term "hessian" with basically the same meaning as hesher. I had always assumed that the metalhead hessian came from the original German mercenaries in the Revolutionary war, and I assumed that this word had stuck around in places where the war was fought, such as York, PA.
