| Jumpin said: Don’t forget that older Gen X also has the late 80s yuppies. Yuppies are the unscrupulous high-strung sociopathic bullies who are corrupt as fuck. They’re pro-rape culture, pro-moron culture, idolize corporatism, anti-Semitism and racism (unless they know the person), and have incredible disdain for the working class. And while they hate “white trash†(sorry, I’m not really sure the PC term) even more than working class, they tend to share the same political ideologies, and are often the politicians you see running in right-wing parties. They’re Frederick the Great types, will act homophobic and like they support religion while secretly laughing at people who actually believe in religion and dabbling in homosexuality (sorry if this rubs some the wrong way, Bret Easton Ellis is my major source on this, and he’s the major writer about yuppie culture - also, I’m not trying to say homosexuality is a corruption, merely that yuppies are often homosexual/bisexual/or that “Yale thing†sorts, but signal as homophobic). |
First time I heard about this term "yuppies" so did a little research. don't know about late 80's yuppies though as it looks like the term was used from the 60's to early 90's "as a derogatory title for young business people who were considered arrogant". So probably refer more to people born in the 40's to early 70's than the 80's.
