Suggested disambiguation: "Hesher" is also a slang term for a person, generally denoting a personal style associated with 1980's heavy metal fandom but carried into the present with ignorance or disregard for changing fashions. Possible origin: a portmanteau of "he", "she", and "her", commenting on the hesher's long hair. When used in skateboarding culture, the term sometimes indicates a grudging respect for someone's disregard for consequences, possibly analogized from the hesher's apparent disregard for his or her (usually his) appearance, reputation and often hygiene.
