please advise. firstly what is it ? i read recent articles on Dilated People and this referred to the band being part of the backpacker set as a Good Thing, then i heard the phrase being used on Prince Pauls Politics of Business album as a Bad Thing. i need ILM to guide me. (i did a search and that came up with fat blank)

whether it's a good or bad thing entirely depends on you.

What is this 'backpacker' sound and why can't I like it?

ar ha. crap search options used. soz for wasting bandwidth. for the record .. i preferred the Prince Paul album over the new Dilated People album .. so guess that answers the Q .. but i didn't know what fit the genre .. off to check other threads and learn ..

this also goes into it a little, amusingly:

if you can't get fans outside of "backpackers" it probably means your music is boring. thus it's a bad thing.
