Backpacker

[Void]

In American musical culture Backpacker Hip-Hop is a term usually used for people who listen to Alternative hip hop, underground hip-hop/rap.[3]

"Backpacker" was originally a slang term from the 1980s for a graffiti artist who always wore a backpack containing his music collection and, more importantly, his spraypaint cans, markers, and spray tips. Typically, the music collection would consist of local underground rap/hip-hop music artists. The term gradually came to refer to someone with this musical taste, and now has almost nothing to do with graffiti (although certain "backpackers" may participate in graffiti "tagging.")

It has come full circle now and is sometimes used as a derogatory term by the mainstream to describe underground hip hop fans.

Actually, i use the term to refer to people that believe they gain a higher class in the hip hop community by listening to a specific style of hip hop. Also, anyone that believes the only credible style of hip hop, or, "real" hip hop, is that which some marvelous insight may be gained. You know, talkin bout some real shit.
