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?)

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?)
