A second generation Backpacker is a Young Hip-Hop artist and/or aficionado, who is into the 4 Elements,
i.e. DJ, MC, Break, and Graffiti. A second Gen Backpacker will use an iPod or a MP3 to listen to Underground music, most of the time they obtain their favorite artists' music via the artists' YouTube channel or the artists' own website. As opposed to the older Backpacker who only gets Underground music through CD's from the Rappers themselves and carried around a Walkman to listen to those CD's. But both generations have some common attributes such as; 1) Carrying around Sharpies, Pens, and/or Spray paint cans in their Backpacks. 2) Their dislike for Mainstream music. 3) They both stay true to the art form and have a strong vocabulary, so their lyrics are not just about Drugs, Sex, and Money, 4) They also can freestyle/rap multiple syllable rhymes for many lines.

Get the Backpacked mug.Euphemism used in reference to someone who is really, really, fat. Comes from the fact that fat people like cheeseburgers/hamburgers and might/would like to have one in their back pocket for eating at any time.
She used to be cute in highschool, but I heard she has a hamburger in her back pocket now.
The man with a hamburger in his back pocket ordered the buffet.
If you keep eating those chips, you're gonna end up with a hamburger in your back pocket!
A hamburger in the back pocket is the number one killer of Americans

Get the hamburger in the back pocket mug.1. A person who travels independently, typically on a low budget, usually staying in hostels or with locals rather than in hotels. Usually aged between 18 and 30 but can be older. Backpackers often travel for several months at a time, and do not consider their trip to be a "holiday". Due to the fact that backpacking was popularized by the hippie movement in the 1960s, there is some association of backpackers with aspects of counterculture.
2. A fan of certain types of "alternative" hip-hop. When used as a derogatory term, it can imply that the individual is suburban/middle class and listens to "nerd rap" rather than "real rap". When used as a neutral term of description, it can imply that the individual listens to thought-provoking, original, intellectual hip-hop. The term is especially associated with fans of the record label Definitive Jux.

1. "Last night I went out for a spliff with a bunch of Australian backpackers I met in a club, they were pretty cool guys."
2. "Oh I'm not really into that whole artsy backpacker scene, I prefer straight-up rap music, stuff like 2Pac and N.W.A."

Get the backpacker mug.Backpacker:
1. Originally a coined slang term from the 1980s for a graffiti artist that always kept a backpack on containing his finite music collection and more importantly his rattle cans, markers, and spray tips.
Although, mainly his music collection is what defines him/her as a backpacker. Most likely the music collection will consist of usually local underground rap/hip-hop music artists only. The sub-genre or sub-categoration of the music means nothing, as long as they are a local unsigned (no recording contract) artist.
A backpackers music selections are based upon three principals: 1) no mainstream, 2) you could never buy the music in a store, and 3) the music was given/sold to them "hand-to-hand" from the originating recording artist.
2. Modernly used derogatory term to describe someone who listens ONLY to Independent rap/hip-hop music, specifically (but not limited to) the nerd-rap sub-genre of the rap/hip-hop music. Most often used in reference to (but not limited by) white sub-urbanite rap/hip-hop music listeners that tend to dislike mainstream rap/hip-hop music, specifically (but not limited to) Gangsta rap.
Notes: Many Hip-Hop listeners from the 80s to early 90s agree that since the invention of the Internet, Underground has died along with Backpackers and there three main principals, hence this modernized definition incorporating Independent rap/hip-hop music and locality of artists lost. Hip-Hop listeners with twenty or more years of experience will often disagree on the definition of Backpacker with the new era of listeners who never have experienced hip-hop without the Internet.

Ex. for definition 1:
John 1ner, the local graff kid only listens to music that he buys at shows from local artists, he never buys music from the record store, unless it's in the local section and they are unsigned hype artists.
Ex. for definition 2:
Yo your boy Johny bugs me out with that nerd-rap stuff about comic books and emo relationships, fools such a backpacker, always dissin on Dre and Biggie.
