A place where people who are trying to be cool and creative with what they wear buy all of their clothing so they can look "different" from everyone else.
Mostly "indie" people buy their highly priced clothing from there.
Urban outfitters is The Man for people trying to be creative. While other truly creative people go out and shop for their clothes at thrift stores for one of a kind pieces. Or better yet make their clothing.

Lauren: ohh really!? i bet you everyone and their mother are going to have it at school tomorrow...

An overrated urban store which sells nothing but strange yet quirky stuff suitable for those who either prefer not to be labled but are labled anyway or preps attempting to show their deep side.
OMG Urban Outfitters everything is so cool and unique and I might fool myself into thinking I have a sense of individualism if I shop here!

A store in which you can buy the same clothes imported from china and sold for a tenth of the price in nearby street markets, including east street in Elephant and Castle. Some of it is pretty, but definitely pretty overpriced considering the cost price. bit of a flea market.
I have that very same top! Where did you buy it, urban outfitters?

No, east street for £3.50.

A store popular with kids who were picked on in High School and now wrap their identity around expensive T-shirts that have funny little sayings in cute colors. Employees usually listen to Bright Eyes and cry when they masturbate. Was founded on hippie ideals of free love and cheap clothing, but now sells Lacoste, Diesel, and jeans with holes and bleach stains that cost hundreds of dollars. Misleads shoppers, making them believe they are special, unique, or funny because of an asymmetrical collar or Led Zepplin logo. Distracts customers with bright colors and decor so they don't realize they are actually paying $150 for a beanbag chair.

Where Urban Dictionary is most likely sold and where Urban outfitters get hipster slang to appeal to the trust funders with all the dough.
" Lets go to Urban Outfitters to get The new copy of Urban dictionary so we can leech off the ideas of others and neatly place it on our brand new vintage coffee table our parents bought while we attend FIDM "

A store that sells clothes "affordable" for its, ahem, demographic. Makes money by stealing smaller designer's templates, corporatizing "designs" and funding Rick Santorum with the massive revenue generated by college kids who would never shop at thrift stores but still want the indie look.
I just got the Stuff Every Woman Should Know book from Urban Outfitters. It includes things like, "how to sew a button back on" and "how to smile at people you don't like." SO progressive
