poser yuppie

Interns who aren't yuppies but pretend they are. They get paid a helluva lot of money to do a little amount of work, but it all goes to tuition at the end of the summer.

Bill and his friends hang out with the yuppies in Chicago and go to fancy dinners and cocktail parties, but they're just interns. What poser yuppies!

Yuppie Redneck

an individual in the midst of an identity crises due to redneck family origins vs. the yuppie culture and behavior that they are acclimated to.

Conversation between a yuppie redneck mother and son:

Mom: "Tucker, you need to get a job son! I can't continue to make the payments on your Z71."

Tucker: "You know I done had 5 heat strokes in the past 2 years, and I can't work outside no more."

Mom: "Well you drink enough Starbucks, why don't you get a job down there?"

Tucker: "I'd probably have to work Saturdays, and then I'd miss the tailgating parties at Tiger Stadium. I mean, I know I flunked out, but all my friends are down there - I belong at LSU!"

Mom: "I sure wish you had gone to law school, and you go into practice with your daddy. Then you could pay for your own pickup truck!"

yuppie

To understand the word yuppie, I believe a mini-geneaology is helpful. Many yuppies, during the 60s were hippies who opposed the Vietnam War with their slogan of peace and love. At the beginning of the 70s, this movement died and most of the hippies sold out. The energy and momentum they had created, they poured into the capitalist market, and rather than make love they started to make money. That´s why I believe the term yuppie has connotations of inauthenticity because many yuppies once had a higher ideal; they were playing a bigger game and they traded it in for consumerism.

Boulder, Colorado was one of the epicenters of hippiedom back in the 60s and now it is super-yuppie. It's now called "the rich, white utopia".
