a bunch of people who think of themselves as unique individuals and are oblivious to the fact they all look about the same. they also think they are into alternative music but have very little knowledge about REAL alternative music.

A group of people who think they're original and yet look the same as every other greb for the past 20 years. They're insistent they dont like "labelling" and yet theyre the most bitchy against anyone who doesnt act/look the way that they do.
They wear t-shirts/hoodies adverstising their favourite bands, and seem to think theyre making some kind of statement by wearing the clothes they wear, when actually noone cares.
They tend to congragate in large groups in shopping centres. You'll recognise them because they have stripy socks on their arms.
They think they're cool now, but dont worry, you rarely see grebs over the age of 20, so most of them will grow out of it, and realise originality comes from within.
However, if you get "into their group", they do tend to be kind, sensitive and intelligent.

Greb 1: "so and so bought a top from topshop"
Greb 2: "OMFG She's such a townie"
Greb 1: "yeah, lets go write about it on our blogs then take some pictures of ourselves looking depressed".

A greb is a person who, in a disastrous attempt at 'individualism', dresses in the same way and listens to the same music as all of his/her greb friends.
Grebs typically wear baggy trousers, hoodies of their favourite bands, chains and various skateboarding paraphernalia. This is meant to be a backlash against 'designer label culture', but the greb doesn't seem to realise that just because you don't dress in designer clothes it doesn't mean you have to make yourself look like a complete prick.
Grebs listen to 'alternative music'. This would imply that it is somehow different to what is heard in the mainstream, yet most of the CDs they listen to are available at Woolworths. It's the sort of stuff that John Peel stopped playing at the end of the 1970s, yet to them it is 'new' and 'innovative'. Grebs dismiss new and interesting forms of music, saying that it is made by people with no talent. To a greb talent is someone who is not bad at guitar who can also play grade 5 on piano.
Grebs are rivals of the chavs/townies. They dislike the way the 'townies' experiment with new forms of language which distinguish them from the older generations. Grebs talk like their parents.
Grebs are contained in their own little ghettos in order to protect the public at large. They are usually found in the less well-off parts of the suburbs. Their parents are typically teachers and social workers who spend their spare time reading The Guardian and telling everyone about how Margaret Thatcher ruined British society in the 1980s. Grebs themselves have left-wing political beliefs. They tell you they believe in equality, but look down their noses at the 'chav underclass'. They will tell you all about the evils of capitalism, but spend most of their time watching Sky TV and take their summer holidays in Disney World where they drink Coca-Cola all day and eat lunch at McDonald's.
In summary, these guys have got ISSUES.

Grebs generally wear tatty old baggy black or blue jeans, spikey necklaces and wristbans along with a nirvana or slipknot hoody. they all seem to think theyre being individual or different bye doin this, but all look the same, they think slipknot and cradle of filth are proper hardcore death metal, but have never even heard of good bands like the devil wears prada, drop dead gorgeous or the black dahlia murder.
they generally pride themselfs as being more intelligent and morally superior to chavs, but in reality are more or less the same, just with different taste in music and different clothes/hair. as they are just as narrow minded, which you will clearly see if you read alot of the other definitions of greb.
