backpacker
n.— «I use the term when decribing either a trendy only independent loving hip-hop kid…you usually see them at concerts with backpacks on or the college hip-hop kid who wears a backpack out of necessity…they too often are on the independent/underground tip…these 2 often are one in the same. another “backpacker” i can think of is the urban youth who are strictly public transportation, sporting the walkman listening to hip-hop.» —“Re: Exactly what is a “backpacker”?” by hiphop@capella.unm.edu (Aztec-Assassin) Usenet: rec.music.hip-hop Mar. 1, 1999.
