Gentrification

When "urban renewal" of lower class neighbourhoods with condos attracts yuppie tenants, driving up rents and driving out long time, lower income residents. It often begins with influxes of local artists looking for a cheap place to live, giving the neighbourhood a bohemian flair. This hip reputation attracts yuppies who want to live in such an atmosphere, driving out the lower income artists and lower income residents, often ethnic/racial minorities, changing the social character of the neighbourhood.

It also involves the "yuppification" of local businesses; shops catering to yuppie tastes like sushi resaturants, Starbucks, etc... come to replace local businesses displaced by higher rents.

The term was coined by sociologist Ruth Glass, who is quoted below.

"One by one, many of the working class quarters of London have been invaded by the middle-classes—upper and lower. Shabby, modest mews and cottages—two rooms up and two down—have been taken over, when their leases have expired, and have become elegant, expensive residences .... Once this process of 'gentrification' starts in a district it goes on rapidly until all or most of the original working-class occupiers are displaced and the whole social character of the district is changed."
-Ruth Glass (1964)

Gentri-Fried Chicken

Typically a person raised without seeing much plight of the poor entering an area of poverty with every intention to become a recognized member of that demographic. Often times a co-existing meek smirk and determined aloofness can accompany the person, giving off confounding signals.

Just because he is eating fried chicken out of a box at the Chicken Box store, it does not change his drawing on his trust fund to support his endeavors. Nor does it mean people won't be chuckling at him for being a piece of gentri-fried chicken.

Gentrifucks

Yuppie scum that move to your funky cool 'hood, spreading banality and leaving condos and chain stores in their wake, thereby spoiling the flavor (and driving up the rents).

The taste-challenged gentrifucks ruined the vibe in Bucktown, and now they're taking over Andersonville.

That bar was awesome, but then the gentrifucks caught on and now it sucks.
