When first coined in the late '60s, the term grebo was applied to young rocker-type men who
(a) let their hair grow out (not necessarily long, just out),
(b) possibly left themselves unshaven, and
(c) listened to rock music.
It was applied to biker-types rather than hippies. The term was vaguely derogatory, but not directly insulting.
- Look at'cha! God, mate, you're such a grebo!
- Thaaat's right. If it's good enough for Paul Kossoff, it's good enough for me.

In my school it basically means someone who doesn't wear anything Golddigga, Playboy, Pineapple or any of those brands/someone who hasn't bleached their hair to within an inch of it's life and then dyed the bottom layer black. Face it, it just looks weird.

Mind you there are these people who wear MCR bags, bracelets, t-shirts, dye their hair black (but not enough so the roots are still showing), have visible cuts on their arms and then say "Don't label me! I am an individual!"

Yes. Tell that to the next person who looks like you.
Stop calling me a grebo! This is my natural hair colour!
One who appears to have an aversion to washing that is usually signified by greasy, unkempt hair. Similar to 'soap dodger'

Ahh the grebo, thinks they are better then everyone else will sit on ChavScum website all day cussing and dishing people who they damm well wouldn't say jack to their faces in the streets. Look down on people who live in Council Houses, they smell wear cheap clothes listen to outdated cheap music, and just generally think they are high and mighty better then everyone else. When really they are the lower people who no one likes and they are Jelous of people who go out have fun, each Friday they will team up with their pals on ChavScum this consist of Goths, Emos, Metal Heads, and any other subculture what slits their wrists when they are down or get things chucked at them on the Bus on their way home from where ever the infested-rats have been. Cause they are not accepted simple as, the only people who will thumb me down on this definition is grebos them selfs.
