What do we call me? I’m a 26-year-old writer who lives in a gentrifying neighborhood in Brooklyn. I’m a straight white man with a single-speed bike and a mustache. I studied liberal arts in college, and I have ideas about stuff, you guys.
Millennial? Hipster? Yuppie? All of these, or none? We don’t have a term that quite encapsulates this corner of the despicable millenn-intelligensia. And like any other privileged member of a so-called “creative class,” being called a hipster offends me for its inaccuracy. I demand to be snarked in precise terms.
Let's consider something new: Yuccies. Young Urban Creatives. In a nutshell, a slice of Generation Y, borne of suburban comfort, indoctrinated with the transcendent power of education, and infected by the conviction that not only do we deserve to pursue our dreams; we should profit from them.
I am the yuccie. And it sounds sort of, well, yucky.

“Maybe what a “yuccie” really wants is to be a starving artist without the starving part.”
Kevin Williamson’s piece this week on precisely this attitude. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/419492/student-loan-deadbeats-fashionable-theft-kevin-d-williamson
Narcissistic boobs.
The left-wing establishment calls you a target.
There were plenty of young fops in 1945 and there are plenty of young men in 2015.
Don’t let the 0bamorrhoids mislead you.
Yes, I know there are plenty of normal young people still around, but, c’mon, it’s not anything like it used to be. It’s what you’d expect, though, after decades of the left dumbing the population down, and sticking all sorts of crazy ideas in kids’ heads..

There, much more accurate.
I prefee ‘soy boy’.
You nailed it FRiend!
It's also not nearly as bad as Big Media would have us believe. BTW, that juxtaposition of Phil Robertson and Pajama Boi is a bit disingenuous. Phil is old enough to be PB's grandfather. IMHO, a better comparison would be John Luke Robertson and Pajama Boi ... the difference is even more stark, because they're roughly the same age.
It’s the same old s**t. They think they are the first, but the same as all those extremely conformist “non conformists.”
Hillary and her ilk now call you misogynist, as of yesterday.
He “creates”?
or is it more appropriation? I don’t just mean “cultural appropriate” (although the foodie fusion food trucks do a lot of that), I mean outright lifting film, audio, text, imagery, notes, characters, etc. from other peoples’ creations.
Making weathered snarky retro t-shirts isn’t the same as creating something yourself. Instagram isn’t art. Neither is wheatpasting prints of other peoples’ drawings.

Perhaps I should have mentioned, I live in “Yuppy Heaven” New York City.
