A stoner is slang for a typical subculture of those who habitually use marijuana. It refers to not only the drug use, but also the unique cultural characteristics of a subset of marijuana users, sometimes identified with hippie culture. Notable features include facial hair for men, long hair for both sexes (especially men), tie dye, hemp clothing, and a relaxed attitude.
Stoner rock emerged as a distinct genre in the late 1980s with bands such as The Miracle Workers, Kyuss, and Monster Magnet, based on early heavy metal and proto-punk
acts of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Its most well known exponent is Queens of the Stone Age.
