A label given by others for those who dislike conformation in major brand names or trends, have any of their own opinions, listen to music they want to listen to rather than what they are TOLD to and dislike cutting their hair and wearing the same tracksuits or t-shirts as everyone else so that noone can see the individuality they lack the confidence to express just in case it is ridiculed or disregarded by the 'cool' kids.
The term grunger is also used as an insult by those known as townies by many (i prefer not to use labels where possible, but find myself having to much of the time).

from my experience, they are all different(apart from the people who shop at tammy and pretend theyre depressed so they look cool, some people really are depressed, stop hogging the limelight)

Hate to burst your bubble people, but Grunge kinda died in'94 with Kurt Cobain. And it hurts to say that but its the truth. I hate defining people, but have a message for all the Chavs of the world. "WE DON'T GIVE A FUCK!" And in the kind words of the Murderdolls I quote : "good bye, so long, get lost, FUCK OFF." I think that Grunge is kick ass and that its great for people to still like it and everything. ok this is a kinda shit definition. someone please delete it for me... can tbe bothered.
Chav: hey look its an individual!! Lets beat them up!!
Grunger: wdf did i do?
Chav: I dunno, i avent got half a brain innit man!!
Grunger: yeah ok... *backs off*
Chav: your just scared!
Grunger: yes... yes i am....
^thought that was funny....^

Grungers are rock listeners who have never listened to urban music in their life and laugh themselves silly at anything slightly chavish. Usually dress in black but not necessarily.

A youth subculture at existed from the late 80's through the mid 90's. As the name suggests, the grungers all listened to grunge bands such as Nirvana, Hole or Alice in Chains and many of them adopted the fashion and ideology of the grunge bands. Some grungers also listened to bands and genres of music that influenced the Grunge movement, such as Noise rock, Hardcore punk, Alternative rock and Sludge metal. Following the downfall of the Grunge movement in the mid 90's, most grungers moved off into various subcultures, some became rivetheads, others started listening to Alternative metal, some turned to Indie rock, others went onto Pop punk, and the rest went onto cheesy commercial Post-grunge music.
"He's stuck in '92, he's a grunger."
"I used to be in a grunger in a grunge band, but I sold my soul and started a Post-grunge band, my name is David Grohl."

a grunger at least on the surface is somebody who minds their own business smokes their own weed/hash and is fairly happy until cries of greebo or 'grunger boi' by the local burberry-wearing faschists upset everything. this however does not define grunge, (nor indeed does kurt cobain) these chavs are 'but fleas annoying a glorious tiger'.
(also anyone who wishes to rush to the defense of these people, remember two things 1: THEY started the labelling of people based upon appearance or preferred music and 2: they will thank you for defending them buy spitting in your face and robbing you).
while the word grunger did originate from the US grunge music scene (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters etc.) the 'subculture' HAS moved on, many grungers could be described as a scruffy golden-virginia-smoking mixture of many other alternitive groups.
Many grungers do scare pensioners with their visual offensiveness but this is usually purely unintentional (also said pensioners should be more scared of the group of sportswear coated yobs waiting around every corner for someone to mug so they can get a 'MaccyDeees bruv innit').
As a grunger myself i am the first to admit we care little for appearances, especially our own, but this may not be in the way you think. first of all clothes are probably bottom of a typical grunger's shopping list, also a strong anti-capitalist streak steers grungers away from the brand name crap with ugly logos slapped on the front (or anywhere really). This leads to a sort of dark hippie/goth/indy/metalhead look; long (not necessarily greasy) hair, torn baggy jeans, often tattered metal band t-shirts, beanie hats, khaki and really worn skate shoes.
Finally as we reach the end of this loooooooong definition i must point out that grungers can skate, listen to whatever music they want and don't have to be in a band or even play an instrument because THAT is what grunge is about freedom from opression inflicted upon society by brain dead nazi-fucks. We don't even really need to define grunge (even though i have spent half an hour doing just that), 'grunge' is what the individual grunger wants it to be.
and in the words of violent J; fuck you if you don't like it rude boy
