British slang for someone who lives and breathes grunge culture — the flannel shirts, the distorted guitars, the studied indifference to mainstream trends. A grunger in the 1990s UK scene was identifiable by their unwashed aesthetic, love of bands like Nirvana and Soundgarden, and general rejection of pop polish. The term is still used nostalgically and occasionally applied to anyone keeping that scruffy, anti-glam spirit alive.
