Yuppie is a slang term denoting the market segment of young urban professionals. A yuppie is often characterized by youth, affluence, and business success. They are often preppy in appearance and like to show off their success by their style and possessions.
The term yuppie originated in the 1980s and is used to refer to young urban professionals who are successful in business and considerably affluent.
Some credit writer Joseph Epstein with using the term while others point to journalist Dan Rottenberg's Chicago magazine article.
It is difficult to identify modern yuppies because modern society has doled out wealth to various groups of people rather than a specific set of people with similar characteristics.
Yuppies tend to be educated with high-paying jobs, and they live in or near large cities. Some typical industries associated with yuppies include finance, tech, academia, and many areas in the arts, especially those associated with liberal thinking and style.
