Backpackers hike remote wilderness areas spending atleast one or more nights there, and carry thier supplies and equipment in thier backpack to survive the hike. People who hike the Appalachian Trail (AT) are good examples of what a backpacker is.
The backpacker is planning a thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail which will last about 5 months.

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."

A person who is on holidays and you should drink alcohol with them and show them what your country has to offer! If you are available to do so of course!.
I always went after the sexy swedish backpacker, but somehow tended to end up with a fat german.

A stupid term used to describe anyone who listens to hip hop (not just white suburban people as commonly referenced) that dislikes "commercial" hip-hop just because it is commercial and likes "underground" hip-hop just because it is underground. Basically, its kind of an inside-joke insult attempting to diss hip-hop fans that oppose music that is related to a capitalistic system, even if the music is actually good. This is not the original meaning of the term but rather the definition (or semi-"insult") it has turned into.
