grobamity

Gravity according to obama. For some reason in Obama's mind, gravity is making alot of the middle class americans money float away to fairy land, end up in the pockets of the poor, to support their 10 kids because working at mcdonalds just doesnt bring in enough dough. Change is great!
random dude: Dude! what happened to your money!?!?!
former middle class dude: Grobamity happened....I Love Change :)

Grebos

A grebo is a commonly used term for people who follow an 'anti-pop' culture. The grebo's archenemy is the townie; grebos generally prefer to wear baggy, darker clothing as well as simple metal jewelry to reflect their darker, anti-pop lifestyle. Most grebos will listen to Slipknot or any other number of popular nümetal bands such as Disturbed.

The contradiction of the Grebo is that through their anti-pop mantra they have effectively created a subculture much like the one that they have rebelled against; it is one that exists to defy the opposite of what pop culture is, and still has its own subcultural standards in wardrobe, music, speech, etc., making the Grebo subculture somewhat pretentious, yet more open to social outcasts or socially unaccepted / otherwise politically incorrect schools of thought or action.
Look at those Grebos, listening to Slipknot. Don't they see that through their rebellion they have built nothing much greater than the culture they have rebelled against?

grebo

I myself was classed as a a GREBO in the late 70's onwards (even more so when another UK youth sub-culture The MOD'S movement began (again) who hated Rockers/Bikers).
My favorite bands of the time included Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin etc.
Long hair, leather jackets and raggy jeans (biker look) being the uniform of the day.
I understood that the term GREBO was a derogative name (abbreviation of- GREASE BOY, meaning dirty),given by so called straight boring idiots with no sense of musical taste and thought processes!
This term derived from the old Rock and Roll Teddy Boy bikers (GREASERS-meaning covered in bike oil and/or Brylcreamed hairstyle!).
In the late 80's early 90's- UK Midlands Bands took up the GREBO banner- bands such as- POP WILL EAT ITSELF, GAYE BYKERS ON ACID, CRAZYHEAD, THE BOMB PARTY,BOMB DISNEYLAND, BOMB EVERYTHING.
Motorhead- classic original GREBO band.

Globohomo

Portmanteau of "Globalist Homogenization", and a critique of capitalism which claims that it is erasing cultural identities and traditional beauty. This is evident in the pervasive, samey-looking modern architecture styles (usually ones that are full of glass), that purport to be "modern" and "progressive" but are actually just ugly and depressing. Another example is the "corporate art style", known as "alegria", that is universially condemned as hideous.

Often mistakenly believed to be a portmanteau of "globalist homosexual" by both alt-right troglodytes and their critics. Globohomo is instead a critique of corporatism and how it homogenizes and devalues culture in the name of a futuristic utopian ideal. Everyone who is not a technocratic elite hates it for its fakeness and mass-produced nature, which is the same reason people tend to dislike kitsch art.
Person 1: Why does every city in the world look the same?
Person 2: Globohomo doesn't care about beauty because it's expensive.
