I have many, many feelings about backpacks, and they all pretty much start with "I hate". I admit that there is a very small segment of the population that finds them useful and necessary (ie, school children), but as much as the person in the photo above looks like a private school student, it is not. It is a 20-something hipster that I happened to be riding the train with at a moment of backpack-induced rage (generally sparked by tourists).
However, I do acknowledge that some people find them essential to their lifestyle (apparently like my friend, @HauteCraigture). Brands like Louis Vuitton continue to produce them (which makes me wonder who is buying), so I'm curious as to how you feel about backpacks. Share your thoughts in the poll below!
