commercial surrealism
A style of filmmaking that uses odd angles, zooms, pointless video effects, musical numbers, and sudden noises to try to keep an audience's attention, but ends up just drowning whatever information is intended with sheer noise. Common in the 1990s, for instructional videos and commercials. Best exemplified by Bill Nye.

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.
