Proto Hipster
Certain people of the indie variety who may be considered Hipster in most circles, but never actually went full hipster. A proto hipster has the ability to acknowledge cultural norms, and chooses to exceed them to an extent.

A proto hipster is generally one who wears funky clothes that does not excessively succeed cultural norms, and listens to obscure music, and watches old or weird movies

grebo
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.
