greebo

The term Greebo originates from 1950s bikers who had greased back hair hence "greebo". Many people use the word "Greebo" in reference to teenagers who listen to rock bands and dress in a manner which distances themselves from the masses. Chavs/trendies/townies etc have been fighting with greebos since the legendary "mods and rockers". Today, we see two subcultures opposing each other, Chavs and Greebos. While chavs have a tendency to be on the less academic side, a large portion of greebos continue on through further education. This is mainly due to the class divide. It has been noted by numerous sociological sources that Chavs are predominantly working class; while "Greebos" are predominantly middle class.

an overused word, where it has a different meaning wherever you go. According to someone i know, greebo is another word to describe a punk up north.
Or if you happen to live in the evesham area, anyone that doesn't tuck their trouser bottoms into their socks ¬_¬ i got called it recently, i don't necessarily agree but neither do i disagree with them. I'm just a general music lover that favours a particular style of dress, and i just so happened to be wearing my beloved tramp hat at the time (that may have had something to do with it). maayybee

I agree with whoever posted the definition about how anyone in their 30's now was really a true "greebo" though, they got it right there

Example:
me: *strolls down the street*
random: hey, look at that girl wearing nothing but black and grey, chains and a stupid hat, she must be trying to be rebellious and different!
me: err...you talking about me?
random: greeeebo! grubby greeebo
me: what? i'm not
random: then what are you?
me: i am a person whose just walking down the road
random: but but you gotta be a greebo! just look at the dark colours, baggy clothes, wooly hat, chains...you have long hair!
me: yes...yes i do have long hair
random: you probably listen to korn
me: yeah and? for your information, i was just listening to ministry of sound five minutes ago
*gasps all round*
me: yeah that's right! i listen to dance! i also like drum n base, and britney spears as well as gizmachi, korn, cob and enslaved!
random: what...somethings wrong...my small fragile and shallow view of the universe is crashing down before my very eyes!

*a vortex appears, and the random is sucked into it*

becky: gee ellie, that's the fifth vortex this you've accidentally created this week, you oughtta stop scaring people like that
me: accidentally? er yeah...accidentally *shifty eyes*
becky: oh well, wanna get a coffee?
ellie: sure

there are many different types of people who make up the greebo population. all of them are different but have one or two things in common, they listen to rock & roll of different types and dont wear fashionable clothes. Yeah they may look a bit stuipid sometimes but theyt really dont give a fuck. they dont have a problem with non greebos so all the stuff about greebos being trouble makers who cause fights and problems with non greebos is crap. greebos will cause not much problem. im not saying their are squeaky clean but they dont go looking for trouble. they just wanna have a good time. greebos and goths often get mixed up which is stupid because if you knew what a greebo was and what a goth was then you know the difference. Oh yeah and they are quick clever and witty so watch out. im a goth so you can say this is bias if you want but i couldnt really give a fuck. like when people shout abuse at me for being a goth, i couldnt give a fuck. people say all this crap about individuality being fake. i say fuck off and mind your own buisness like greebos do. if you gonna insult someone, know your facts. case closed. no more problems then.

Example:
someone who wants to cause trouble - greebo, what the fuck you think you are,greebo, you look so stupid,greebo, you wanna fight, greebo, cuz your not like me, im trying to make you look small and silly, greebo.

person who is being accused of being greebo - fuck off you silly twat and come back when you know the meaning of the word

A greebo is somone who is proud to be different from everyone else, people say that they are like that because they have no friends or are always trying to kill them selves, but that's not true. Greebos are peace makers who don't want to start fights because they know it won't help anything. Too many people judge greebos by what they look like, which isn't fair, it's what is on the inside that counts.

I am a greebo, and I'm proud of it, if someone makes fun of me for being who I am I don't care.

Example:
Walk around for less than two minutes and get dirty looks from anyone who doesn't like people who are different. (Greebos rule!)

Greebos r peole who dont start on others for no reason. They wear wot they want when they wanna wear it and don't give a f**k wot every one else thinks. Greebos only brand chavs as 'chavscum' because they wear cheap crap and start on anyone who has more than a pyjama lookin tracksuit. If chavs never started on greebos then there would be no problem.

Example:
chav: Oi look brud theres a greeb!
*other chavs laugh*
other chav:lets get him boyz!
oi u bla bla
greeb:do i know u?
chav:look lads he's being rude
other chav:oh shit i'm still wearin my pj's quick bak to my biffa bin!

chavs run off screamin n greebo shrugs n walks away.

A member of the alternative scene, a 'greebo' can neither be classified as a 'skater', a 'spooky kid' (those little guys in KoRn hoodies and black eyeliner), a 'goth' or an 'indie kid'. Very often they fall between, wearing anything from baggies to funky hats to army shirts.

The term 'greebo' is used to describe an alternative person of such a nature by 'trendies' as a derrogatory insult.

Example:
Ehhh Gary laaaa... look a' that greebo over there!

a greebo or grebo is someone who doesnt think that they are the best just thinks they should do wot they want and not get shouted or kiked the shit out of for we dont do anything to any one so townies should get the picture and leave us alone.we might look threatening but most of us are generaly nice people.we listen to metal or punk and play instruments and actually have lives unlike townies who just hang around street corners taking the piss out of anyone that dont wear burberry and all that shite.

Example:
