A member of a British youth subculture from the 1980s characterized by heavy metal music, long hair, and working-class style.
British slang of uncertain origin, possibly derived from 'greasy' or related to working-class (grease-stained) appearance; primarily used in the UK during the 1980s-1990s music scene.
The grebo subculture was basically what happened when working-class British kids decided metal and punk wasn't enough—they combined leather jackets, big hair, and defiance into something uniquely their own, often clashing with the more middle-class mod revival crowd.
