An overpriced chain store, found at most malls, that knocks off vintage clothing and independent designers while raising the price to something only hipsters supported by their suburban parents, and yuppies can afford

A lot of people who say "free Tibet!" and like to give a dollar to homeless people shop here. They talk of world peace and other hippy shit when in reality their $500 jeans were made in a sweat shop in china, when the money could have gone towards freeing Tibet!
I am so into reggay that i always shop here, I'm am SUCH a hipster! Despite the christian morals behind rastafarian, i smoke weed and am down with marley.

Where rich 20-somethings go to buy overpriced clothing that will make them appear like they're wasting Mommy and Daddy's money on threads that will make them appear independent, intellectual, and poor. Basically the biggest hypocrisy ever. If you want to look different and on a budget, just shop around.
Melanie and her friends went to Urban Outfitters to buy a fifty dollar striped black and white t-shirt for the concert, while Chrissy got hers at a thrift store for $10.

an awesome store with really trendy clothes. However, it is a bit overpriced, but really, who wants to buy from a thrift store anyway? I'd rather put on a 30 dollar shirt, then some tank top from Value Village that some 8 year old probably puked on. I like my shirts to be puked on by hard working chinese kids. and no i'm not being sarcastic.

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

Slaughterhouse of American sensibility.
Anyone who can logically rationalize spending that much money on a semi-ironic and completely-lame t-shirt earns my respect, but still deserves to die anyway.
People tend to believe that Urban is somehow coolxcore while they sport their NOT MY PRESIDENT t-shirts and Kerry 2004 buttons (P.S. he lost) when in actuality Urban Outfitters is basically run by the GOP. Way to rebel, Trendy Urban Hipsters! You're teaching somebody a lesson somewhere. Unfortunately that "someone" is probably your other super wannabe dumbass friends, and the somewhere is probably your mother's house! Hardcore! Just like robots, dinosaurs, and brokenxhearts, right!
