The term 'unhip type' can be described by two crossword solutions: 'NERD' and 'SQUARE'. A NERD is someone who is socially awkward, overly intellectual, and often obsessed with a particular subject. They are usually seen as outcasts in society. A SQUARE is someone who is considered old-fashioned, conservative, and out of touch with modern trends. Both terms describe someone who is not considered 'HIP' or fashionable.
