backpacker

Commonly used as an insult against white middle class kids who listen to underground alternative hip hop, who like hip hop yet are secretly scared of all the violence and other things they don't understand so change the genre around to suit them. The weird thing about the insult is who really uses it? A black rapper living in the projects woudlnt use it or even care (its not his audience), so ive come to the conclusion its used only by white kids who dont want to be placed in the backpacker group, so group everyone else into it, ironically grouping themselves in too.

I feel the insult has now been stretched to the point that any white person listening to Hip Hop is called a backpacker unless they grew up in the projects and carry a magnum next to their dick, which is why ive grown to hate the term, as if i lived in an area where people used the term i would probably be branded it at some point, when i listen to music thats so violent the average black guy i play it doesnt even wanna hear it.

"Nah man your some backpacker, fuck your peaceful shit you whiteboys are killing hip hop"

"Man fuck you, listen to this." (I then play "Return Of Da Baby Killa" by Brotha Lynch Hung).

"Thats some messed up shit man, id rather listen to 50."
