GREBO is the one. It was an late 80's/early 90's movement, largely from Midlands, in England. It spawned some really very decent bands, eg Gaye Bykers on Acid, Ned's Atomic Dustbiin, Pop Will Eat Itself, as well as the lesser Wonderstuff. Carter USM, The Wonder Stuff, The Levellers, Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction and New Model Army are occaisionally associated with the scene, which I remember was dubbed by Melody Maker as 'the scene that celebrates itself'.

It was shortlived, but some very good music came from there, and it is certainly under-recognised.

Especially GAye Bykers on acid.
