They wear their aspiration on their sleeve. --Which is "I am all about projecting a certain social stratum, and I want to project wealth, art, culture, the whole metrosexual thing, be hip and wickedly ironic all the time, and yet shallow enough to drive a cool car, wear cool clothes and sweat the coolness of my living space's design, and for you not to see the real me -- just another scared of being average human being -- through all this projected image."

It's hard to say. Maybe it's the conspicuous consumption. Maybe it's those huge SUVs they drive, driving up the price of gasoline and ruining the environment. Maybe it's the "Save The Earth" bumper stickers they put on the rear of their SUVs, while never actually DOING anything to help the environment. Their biggest concern is their own habitat, a clean place to live, and making the world safe for their Volvos. Their biggest environmental complaint is there aren't enough bicycle paths. Maybe it's the idea all of that paper wealth they've accumulated over the years has been at the expense of working Americans, whose jobs have been shipped overseas so the Yuppies can have better stock portfolios. And every time I'm behind one of their tanks and see the "My Child is an Honor Student..." bumper stickers I have to pull over and puke.
Beyond that, I don't know why people don't like Yuppies.

It was more of an 80s phenomenon when the popular bumper sticker, "Die Yuppie Scum" was prevalent.
Yuppies (Young Urban Professionals) were materialistic, egocentric and status conscious. That's what probably pissed people off.

It's not so much that people hate yuppies, rather that yuppies are considered a joke.

Because they exude weakness, a very ugly trait when struggling to survive in this jungle.
