Ranter

Appearance: Well, anything really. Oddly enough there is a slight leaning towards paisley or loud Hawaiian shirts. Usually the Ranter sprouts short or no hair, and are often quite stocky, jovial guys, most often pictured with a pint glass in hand.

Musical Taste: Biohazard, Sick of it All, Raging Speedhorn, hardcore generally, but very wide ranging taste.

Tribal Leader(s):
Rivethead (nonfictitious title)

Appearance: Welcome to the world of Bladerunner. Clothing with more circuit boards than a plant in Silicon Valley, failing that bolts, rivets, UV strips, belts, buckles; the general theme being industrial, futuristic technology or bondage. These motifs are found throughout the genus, mainly in the music.
Mainstays for SDL clothing. Stonkin great boots, preferably with metal plates. NIN hoody gang. Usually longish shoulder length hair, quite frequently in crazy coloured braids. Their tribal colours are black and green.

Music Taste:
Ministry, Fear Factory, Nine Inch Nails, industrial genre.

Tribal Leader(s): Trent Reznor.
Notes: Ranters are expertly camouflaged. Unlike a Pouffle, for example, you can't just point and laugh at these a mile off, cos you just can't spot them; they're not into exhibitionism. Outside the pub anyway. They are, in fact, invisible until you go to a hardcore gig. Then these will be the guys who you'd assumed had just poked their head round the door 'to see what all this heavy metal stuff is about', but actually, when the band start, stampede up the front in a solid herd and start slamming for all they're worth to the incitement of another Ranter frontman stageside.

These are the most open minded of all the species. They will quite happily strut their stuff badly in a third rate nightclub to Madonna, Mystique, S Club 7, Bob the Builder, whatever. They may even be heard to say that Busted have potential.
Notes: Very often mistaken for Cybergoths, as the look can be similar and the two often get along together very well. The Rivethead, however, is more into metal as a rule, and will be quite happy to dance to Korn or Killswitch Engage.
