"Fuck you, got mine." for the most part.
- superuser2 10y agoI don't understand. Don't yuppies tend to skew left and towards support of redistribution, more funding for social services, etc?
- daveloyall 10y agoNo? "Yuppies" throw out perfectly good food and clothing when they are full or bored. They are relatively affluent but have only new things in their homes. Their art is exclusively abstract. They smile too much. Maybe the definition varies from region to region, or generation to generation.
- gleenn 10y ago"They smile too much." Yeah, they should all burn in hell. Smilers...
- RickS 10y agoLots of subjectivity here, to the point that it becomes near nonsense. But, playing the game: "Yuppies" and "Hippies" cover swaths so wide that they contain different people. The "income redistribution" yuppies are at the bottom, instagramming yoga. The "fuck you, got mine" yuppies are higher up the wealth curve, on wall street. It's also possible for someone to be both a yuppie and a hippie. Find these people in whole foods and wearing Michael Kors at a farmers market.
- simbalion 10y agoNo that's socialists and liberals, yuppies don't necessarily subscribe to a singular political philosophy.
- jshevek 10y agoEven if that is true, politically supporting the funding of social services doesn't indicate generosity. Giving your own money would be generous. Giving away other people's money - not so much.
