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.

Get the Urban Outfittersmug. 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 "

Get the Urban Outfittersmug. 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

Get the Urban Outfittersmug. Just like how you have Hot Topic for your alternatives and Hollister for your preps, you have Urban Outfitters for your hipsters.
A lot of people tend to assume any one who shops at a commercially popular store is automatically a poser of said label to which the store's primary target is. That's not necessarily true. It's OK to shop there because you like the clothes, even if they can be overpriced. However, a lot of people who shop there do tend to be "hipsters", and as a "hipster" store it's no longer hipster, because with the hipster movement being mainstream in itself something can only be hipster until it's called hipster.
Personally, I wouldn't shop there simply because it's too commercial, so they think they can jack up the prices of things to more than it's worth. Whether or not you shop there is ultimately up to you, but for the sake of society, if you can help it don't shop there to be hipster. Please, we already have enough "hipsters" in this world.

"hipster": I got this shirt is from Urban Outfitters because that shop it's so anti-mainstream!
Someone-not-trying-to-be-anything-or-prove-anything: I got this shirt from Urban Outfitters because I just like this shirt, and perhaps I like some of the stuff Urban Outfitters sells regardless who it targets its products to.

Get the Urban Outfittersmug. A clothing store for the urban, fashion-forward thinkers. It is an urban yet retro style for anyone, and they also sell house decor as well as cameras and knick knacks.
Read if you LOVE Urban Outfitters
NOTE: Fashion at UO is consistently copied from, also ripped off by mainstream, poser, teenage stores like Hollister Co., American Eagle, and Aeropostale which later you can see on the posers you hate at school or college kids at the mall.
You KNOW it's true
