Word used to class people with an alternative taste in music (HIM, Muse, Franz Ferdinand, Zeromancer and the like) and an alternative taste in casual/smart attire. (Duffs, Quiksilver, O'Neill, Vans, Etnies erc) It is commmonly used as an insult by trendies,chavs,scallies and hard-knocks, from which most 'greebos' can give suitably scathing comebacks.
'Greebos' very often wear loose fitting trousers (preferably jeans) or branded 3/4 lengths of the brands named above and can almost always been seen in a t-shirt/shirt with an amusing quote on the front, or a band name. Female 'greebos' can often be seen wearing stripy socks, fishnet gloves, clothes with rainbow patterns and other striped items of casual wear. Many 'greebos' also like to skateboard and enjoy taking part in many other extreme sports.

Scallie/Chav/Townie/Hard-knock : Yo ma homies. Der is a dirty greebow down dere innit. Lets jump da fucka.
Greebo : Well I'll just be moving out the way then won't I. Dirty greaseballs...

Noun : refers to people who listen to a range of music from punk to metal. It was once common to see greebos wearing blue jeans black hoodies and to have a metal chain hanging from their pocket however this seemed to disappear after the ascent of the chav as many greebos descended into chavdom. Greebo was once used as an insult by chavs and those with little understanding of the side darker of life however over time the insult has faded and it has just become accepted by people such as myself as a way of describing us. Greebo is somewhere between skater and goth.

A greebo (greasy hobo) is another word for a weirdo, who is not fashionable and are socially awkward to people who have a higher social status to them especially girls, they are also unable to host a naughty sesh or partake in one...

Yet another classification that manages to simultaneously offend, insult, and start a fight.
1) Bloke with Harley Davidson who just happens to wear leather, denim and chunky boots. Probably has long hair and a Hulk Hogan style long hair-in-bandana-tasche combo, as the groomed look isn't really practical when biking. This archaic definition of the word 'greebo' is rapidly becoming antiquated and disused. Many second-generation greebos are not aware of the derivative status of the term.
2) Very shortlived musical subculture involving undercut hair and grubby clothes, influencing a couple of contemporary bands and thousands of grungy teenagers everywhere. Coined the term moshers.
3) 'Alternative' teenagers who like baggy jeans and Nine Inch Nails. Generally aged between 10 and 16, this subculture share an affinity with goths in that they feel the need to be recognised as individuals, without realising that this aim is destroyed by the act of categorising oneself as a 'greebo'. Greebos enjoy the company of other greebos, goths and punks, and are most likely to be found skinning up outside Korn concerts or drinking vodka under bridges.
Unlike a chav, the typical greebo can form complex sentences and can understand the benefits of basic education. Unfortunately, this perception is marred by a compulsive desire to get pissed and/or stoned.
Similarly to goths, greebos must have at least one body piercing. This is most commonly the eyebrow or the ear, as they look good but do not hurt. More adventurous greebos may go with the septum or the bridge, but group opinion leaves the more adventurous modification to punk subculture.
Greebo nutrition is limited to fast food, alcohol and nicotine. Unlike a chav or a goth, a greebo will not tend to become emaciated. This is partly due to the hunger pangs caused by smoking dope, and the fact that Pot Noodles are cheaper than chips.
4) A one eyed cat of foul temperament belonging to Nanny Ogg, a character in the popular Discworld Series of novels by Terry Pratchett.
Fun facts: Shout, 'Police!' and a greebo can run faster than Kelly Holmes on crack.

Greebo is a term that means a person who listens to heavy music and does not follow the mainstream fasion. it is a pathetic term made up by chavs as they have no better comeback when people laugh at them for their chavy nature.
If you are called a greebo, you shouldn't be offended, as;
a) theres nothing wrong with it, its who you are, your differant.
b) your not a sheep, as you don't follow the mainstream fasion and music taste, meaning your better then the snobs who call you a greebo.
c) you listen to actuall music, not some talentless douche bag talking over a drum beat about the same daym things
d) you have a personality
e) you know nicer people who are all diferant and exiting to meet
f) your girlfriends unlikely to be a slut/whore who'll cheat on you about 20 times behind your back and still have the cheek to say "i love you"
g) you know what love is and how it feels
h) its just a word.
need i go on??

I am what the chavs and chavette's call a greeeebooo, in the same way a fog horn blows.I wear things that I think look nice and that I'm comfortable with. I get abuse because of the way I dress and the music I listen to. I reckon what I listen to is tonnes better than that pure s**t that these people who think they rule the earth listen to. I mean all it is, is a bunch of curse's put to a beat that lasts for what seems like three hours. Im not offensive unless provoced, Im not aggressive, and I don't have the potentiol of a dead squirrel. I'm just a normal human being with a unique tatse in music. My everyday casual dress is, baggy jeans with maybe a chain hanging down one side, a black, red, dark pink or white top and some wicked accessories, like maybe a few gummy bracelets and maybe a chain bracelet and an arm warmer. I feel good in this clothing because it is what i WANT to wear, not what I have to!! If people don't like me for what I am then I don't really care. My friend Nicole was beaten up for being a greebo, she left school for a week and they still don't treat her right. It's worse than racisism, not that I'd prefer it that way. I just wish all discrimination would be eliminated. I wish there was no difference.
Chav: Greeeeeeboooo!!
Chav 2: ewww ya' dirty gof'!
Greebo: *raises one eyebrow* o...kay? *shrugs shoulders*
Chav: Am yo a greebo? ya greasey f**ker!!
Greebo: And proud! *walks away*
Chav 2: ewww ya' dirty gof'!

A Greebo is essentially anybody who is not a Scallie/Towny/chav etc...
They can be a skater, or a punk or can have long hair and baggy trousers. It doesnt matter who they are, if they don't have a nike t-shirt or a cheap gold ring, they are classed as a "Greebo"
