    Yes correct, and proud of it. But according to Wikipedia even if I was from London I'd still not know what a grebo was.



    Grebo was a United Kingdom subculture[citation needed] of the late 1980s and early 1990s, largely based in the English Midlands.
    Influential bands in the scene were Pop Will Eat Itself (who had songs titled, "Oh Grebo I Think I Love You" and "Grebo Guru"), The Wonder Stuff, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, along with London band Carter USM and Leicester bands Crazyhead, The Bomb Party, The Hunters Club, Scum Pups and Gaye Bykers on Acid.[1][2][3] London-based band Medicine Factory (later known as Stark) were also active on the scene in the late 80s and early 90s. The term has also been used to describe Jesus Jones, who enjoyed success in both the UK and US.[4][5] The musical styles of the bands were a blend of garage rock, the more alternative forms of rock, pop, hip-hop, and electronica. The musical genre found favour with adherents of the earlier Post-punk roots of Gothic rock such as Mick Mercer which by the late 1980s had changed character significantly.
    The Grebo fashion style was dreadlocks, partially shaved heads and high ponytails, undercut or shaved long hair, leather bike jackets and/or jeans, baggy clothing, boots, lumberjack shirts, loose tatty jeans, army surplus clothing, and eccentric hats and scarfs.
    The movement, although short-lived, was a reasonable success at the time, and influenced a number of later bands. To a certain extent it was a music press invention, much like positive punk, a scene and style named by British indie magazines, specifically NME and the Melody Maker.[1] The scene occupied the period in the late 1980s and early 1990s before Grunge, Britpop and other forms of Anglo-American alternative rock took over.

    Anything that got near the charts was of interest to me, but then looking at the charts in 1968 there was:

    Louis Armstrong, What a Wonderful World
    Hugo Montenero, The Good the Bad and the Ugly.
    The Beatles, Hey Jude
    Arthur Brown, Fire
    Manfred Mann, the Mighty Quinn
    Rolling Stones, Jumpin Jack Flash
    Joe Cocker, With a Little Help from my Friends
    Simon and Garfunkel, Mrs. Robinson
    Jimi Hendrix, All Along the Watchtower
    The Four Tops, Just Walk Away Reneee

    I probably still have them all on vinyl somewhere. Those were the days when I was starting up my own mobile disco and I had an arrangement with a local cafe to buy up their old juke box records when they changed them.
    I see fish. They are everywhere. They don't know they are fish.

    Nice to see Wiki completely wrong. I was being called a grebo in the early 1980s because I liked heavy metal.

    I bought my first LP's when I was 13, they were-

    Deep Purple 'Who do we think we are'
    Led Zeppelin 2
    Free 'Heartbreaker'
    Elton John 'Don't shoot me'

    Over the next year, I became a Pink Floyd freak- Dark side of the Moon was released when I was 13 (1973)- for many of us, it was the 'Sergeant Pepper' of the 70's. Floyd and Zep were my favorite bands.

    How many of you are there? Is this some sort of multi-nic confession?

    Is that a confession that you didn't have any friends when you were 13?

    "Us" was me and the rest of my, far cooler than head banger, buddies.

    ^ I wouldn't learn to appreciate music as good as that until I was about 16.

    What a difference 3 years makes at that age!

    Man that was a long time ago. I was 13 in 1951. Buddy Holly, Early Rock N Roll, and of course, the greatest, Elvis. IMO he still is the greatest. And I almost forgot, the Platters'
