It depends on what you mean by hacker.

Being a true hacker is someone who knows lots about a particular technology and is good at modifying it to make it better. Whether hacking is a good or bad thing depend on what you hack. If you hack some thing with a copyright or cause destruction then yes it is bad. If you use those skills to improve open source software, do legal penetration testing, digitalize a toaster, build your own chat program, ect. then hacking is a good, legal, and fun hobby or possibly even a profession.
