A greebo is a person who listens to rock/punk/metal music and doesn't follow fashion trends.
They don't usually class themselves as being a greebo but are assigned that title by trendies/rudes. Some of them may look quite threatening but generally they are all around nice people and they resist starting fights or arguments with people who do follow trends. However, if you were to ask one if they had anything against trendies or rude boys their answer would seldom be 'no'. Almost all Greebos have some kind of disliking towards trendies mainly because they make their lives hell. Abuse is hurled at them when they walk down the street and they frequently get the crap beaten out of them for absolutely no reason other than the fact that they are different.
Greebos also seem to be fairly itelligent people if not it one way, they are bound to be intelligent in another, this may contribute to why greebos rarely start fights with trendies and rudes, because they are intelligent enough to know that it wont solve anything.
Greebos are alternative people who just want to be treated fairly.
Trendies: *sniff the air* Look, theres something that looks nothing like us, lets make it's life a living hell.

The term Greebo originates from 1950s bikers who had greased back hair hence "greebo". Many people use the word "Greebo" in reference to teenagers who listen to rock bands and dress in a manner which distances themselves from the masses. Chavs/trendies/townies etc have been fighting with greebos since the legendary "mods and rockers". Today, we see two subcultures opposing each other, Chavs and Greebos. While chavs have a tendency to be on the less academic side, a large portion of greebos continue on through further education. This is mainly due to the class divide. It has been noted by numerous sociological sources that Chavs are predominantly working class; while "Greebos" are predominantly middle class.
Chavs should be nice to greebos because one day they'll be working for one!

He is a greebo.

Look at those gloves! You f*cking greebo. You want to get yourself some Calvin Klein gear. Beat her up, babe.
Greebo by Black-eyed raven January 3, 2004
an overused word, where it has a different meaning wherever you go. According to someone i know, greebo is another word to describe a punk up north.
Or if you happen to live in the evesham area, anyone that doesn't tuck their trouser bottoms into their socks ¬_¬ i got called it recently, i don't necessarily agree but neither do i disagree with them. I'm just a general music lover that favours a particular style of dress, and i just so happened to be wearing my beloved tramp hat at the time (that may have had something to do with it). maayybee

I agree with whoever posted the definition about how anyone in their 30's now was really a true "greebo" though, they got it right there
me: *strolls down the street*
random: hey, look at that girl wearing nothing but black and grey, chains and a stupid hat, she must be trying to be rebellious and different!
me: err...you talking about me?
random: greeeebo! grubby greeebo
me: what? i'm not
random: then what are you?
me: i am a person whose just walking down the road
random: but but you gotta be a greebo! just look at the dark colours, baggy clothes, wooly hat, chains...you have long hair!
me: yes...yes i do have long hair
random: you probably listen to korn
me: yeah and? for your information, i was just listening to ministry of sound five minutes ago
*gasps all round*
me: yeah that's right! i listen to dance! i also like drum n base, and britney spears as well as gizmachi, korn, cob and enslaved!
random: what...somethings wrong...my small fragile and shallow view of the universe is crashing down before my very eyes!

*a vortex appears, and the random is sucked into it*

becky: gee ellie, that's the fifth vortex this you've accidentally created this week, you oughtta stop scaring people like that
me: accidentally? er yeah...accidentally *shifty eyes*
becky: oh well, wanna get a coffee?

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
