Yuppie, short for "Young Urban Professional", is a term that describes a subculture that emerged in the early 1980s in the United States. It denotes high-class or mid-class, predominantly young people with university studies and ambitious career pursuits. Yuppies were typically employed in well-paying professions and their lifestyles were defined by high disposable incomes, consumerism and materialism.
