Originally a derogatory word used to describe Indianapolis, Indiana when the economy was dead and Indy was merely a crossroads with nothing to do. This term died and then was revived by Jazz musicians and more recently used in rap songs. Naptown now accurately describes the laid back culture of Indianapolis that has spawned from the rural Indiana culture that surrounds it.
Some people also call it naptown due to its "ho hum" party scene in downtown.
