backpacker

Definition

A hip-hop fan who gatekeeps music based purely on commercial status—rejecting anything mainstream on principle and only celebrating underground tracks for the underground cred, regardless of actual quality. The audio equivalent of shopping at niche stores just to seem alternative.

Example Usage

He called Kendrick's album too commercial and only listens to artists with 47 SoundCloud followers—total backpacker mentality.
