The quality of being un-hip, or a person exhibiting that quality. The word was originally used in this sense by beats in the 1950s, but became widely used by the 1960s to pick on the wallflowers or others not up to the minute on the latest styles and trends. The glyphL7 forms a near-square, and came to be used as a synonym.
