What is Yuppies?
1.
An acronym originally meaning Young Urban Professionals. Usually referring to one who exhibits pretentious or snobbish behavior.
The two Yuppie met at Starbucks and fell in love while comparing their L.L. Bean catalogs.
2.
The opposite of hippie, if you will. Used to mean "young urban proffessional" but now it is used as an insult towards young people who happen to wear suits.
It is also used as an insult to mean shallow, but conservative people.
Usually, yuppies are racist and xenophobic, and against abortions. They will exhibit a limited amount of intelligence and regurgitate news heard from such crappy channels as "FOX" or "NBC" or even "ABC" . Sometimes they are extremist Christian, but not often. Usually scientifically atheistic. It doesn't matter what colour their skin is, they can still be racist against their own.
They don't wear too much jewelry or makeup, and their music of choice is the horrific genre of "soft rock" or "easy listening". Their style of dress is conservative, but not bad considering the alternatives. They wear leather briefcases or nylon laptop bags, and have a sense of self-importance with their blackberry cellphones and their IPods.
They wear brand names like Eddie Bauer, Tommy Hilfiger, sometimes Armani and, if they feel funky, D&G. Coco Chanel is seen as an idol, but usually, the females will wear Coach bags, because these are more in fashion.
Yuppies like to pretend they're not following trends, but they follow trends just like
A yuppie is a corporate lawyer.
A business person is a yuppie.
Damn yuppies are at it again!

Yuppies are typically people who listen to mainstream "music" garbage like Daughtry, Nickleback, or something equally soft, lifeless, and pathetic. Although yuppies are stereotyped as being morally correct, some have quite a bit of a superioty complex.These people usually have happy attitudes and it's really painful to hear them talk with their overly-peppy attitudes sometimes. Yuppies are known for having a cheesy and fake approach to the world around them. It's just sad!
A conversation between a yuppie and non-yuppies at a pep rally:
Yuppie:"All right everyone!!!!!!!!!!!Who wants to be our fuzzy, adoarable school mascot at the pep rally??????!!!!!!!"
Everyone else:"Whatever."
