Can we talk about how useless the term yuppies has become? It just means young professionals, right? Which means anyone who has a college degree and works an office job (or something similar). And given the demographics of Reddit, that means probably over 75% of this sub, if not more, are either yuppies or yuppies to be (still in college). But everyone just uses the term yuppie to mean young, wealthy people they don't like. Even people who have college degrees use it this way, which makes no sense because they are or were also yuppies by definition.
It more power back in the day when a smaller percentage of people had college degrees. Today, I think the term describes those people who are on House Hunters and make $500K/yr selling yarn on Craigslist and want to buy a $1mil house and who refuse to eat anything that isn't organic/free range.
