Answer 2

Yuppie, an acronym for "Young Urban Professional", a term often used pejoratively with connotations of selfishness, materialism, and superficiality. Originally the term held some positive meaning, but quickly led to backlash against those that self-identified with the term. The phrase "Die Yuppie Scum" quickly entered the public eye, particularly on bumper stickers. The general media was something at a loss to explain the backlash, and several evening news programs attempted to delve into the matter without much success.

The writer Alice Kahn coined the word "YUPS" in an article that first appeared in the East Bay Express in 1982 (weeks later, the "Chicago Reader" reprinted it, and given its 200,000+ circulation was often credited with publishing it first)[citation needed]. Kahn depicted a new generation of San Francisco commuters who began to take over the historically ethnic suburban neighborhoods of Oakland and Berkeley, detailing their food choices, consumption habits, and general lifestyle.

Common traits for Yuppie would include the following:

* Expensive car such as BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Porsche, etc
* An expensive condo, townhouse or apartment in a "trendy" building or neighborhood
* Trendy interior design and decorating
* Expensive haircuts at salons
* Manicures, designer stubble, hair streaking or other grooming habits associated with metrosexuals
* Hobbies or activities that are generally not embraced by rural or suburban people
* Membership at exclusive gyms
* Engaging in conspicuous consumption
* Elitism, even from those with humble beginnings
