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 Outfitters mug.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!

Get the urban outfitters mug.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 Outfitters mug.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

Get the Urban Outfitters mug.A place to get comfortable jeans.
Their shirts are ugly, unoriginal
and a cheaper way of advertisement
for the company. They have some cool
accessories. A little more creative than
hollister and abecrombie and fitch.
But, only creative if you make it that
way. Most who shop there are just out
to get a logo. They walk in to buy a polo
and track pants that MUST say american eagle
across the butt. These days originality is
gone, which is a shame because being original
is respected and any educated person would know
that.
