The application of Critical Theory to concepts of human nature—examining how claims about what humans "naturally" are reflect social values and serve political interests. Critical Theory of Human Nature asks: Why are certain traits called "natural"? Who benefits from defining humans as competitive, selfish, aggressive? Could human nature include plasticity, cooperation, solidarity? How have claims about human nature been used to justify inequality? It doesn't deny that humans have biological constraints but insists that "human nature" is never just descriptive—it's always prescriptive, always political.
"Humans are naturally competitive, they say. Critical Theory of Human Nature asks: naturally? Or socialized under capitalism? Humans cooperate too, share too, care too. Which 'nature' you emphasize reflects your politics. Critical theory insists on asking: who benefits from the 'selfish gene' story? And what would change if we told different stories about who we are?"
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.

They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
