1998, "Bill Jillians", alt.journalism.gonzo (Internet newsgroup)The highlight of my school days was one day in the mid-70s. There was a sort of glam-rock cult called the Grebos back then who wore smartish Disco clothes...
2002, Glyn Brown, Baxter Dury: Chip off the old Blockhead (The Independent on Sunday)But the realistic side stepped in — y'know, if you're on the point of giving birth, you don't really need a bunch of grebos playing some dodgy old music downstairs.
(slang, UK) A member of a United Kingdom subculture of the late 1980s and early 1990s, musically affiliated with garage rock and electronica, typically wearing baggy clothes and hair in high ponytails.
1995, Colin Larkin, The Guinness Encyclopedia of Popular Music...they were soon pigeonholed under the banner of "grebo rock"...
2002, Vladimir Bogdanov, Chris Woodstra, Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide to Rock...focused on the hyper punk aspect of England's "grebo" movement...
2003, Peter Buckley, Jonathan Buckley, The Rough Guide to RockThis debut album is a glorious grebo-fest.
