What do we call me? Im a 26-year-old writer who lives in a gentrifying neighborhood in Brooklyn. Im 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 dont 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.

What to call him? “Narcissist” comes to mind here.
You did a good job with your daughter.
Too many parents of your generation have not.
LOL - reminds me of this from back in 2007:
Many female respondents described being attracted to people who ate meat, but said they did not want to have sex with meat-eaters because their bodies were made up of animal carcasses. "It's a whole new thing I have not come across it before," said Potts. One vegan respondent from Christchurch said: "I believe we are what we consume, so I really struggle with bodily fluids, especially sexually." Another Christchurch vegan said she found non-vegans attractive, but would not want to be physically close to them. "I would not want to be intimate with someone whose body is literally made up from the bodies of others who have died for their sustenance," she said.

Google: portland hipsters then click on images.
I would call the next generation of hipsters:
“The great unwashed”
Ah, the good ol' days!
WELDERS Rule! So do Electricians! Plumbers! Heavy Equipment Operators! Machinists!
Any one of them can make BIG BUCKS while the lib arts students are still in school racking up debt.
When society collapses, the author will be among the first to die.
They will not marry and they will not have children.
The Reverend Willy G?
You have every right to pursue your dreams DUMBASS, whether or not you get paid for them is another matter
You must PRODUCE something people are WILLING to PAY for.
I am an old man now; I look at those pictures and think, I hope that young kid on the left don’t get killed in in 44 or 45. I look at that THING on the right and think, abortion (which I don’t agree with) became legal in 72 or 73, why didn’t his parents take advantage of it.

What he really is is an easy mark for those who are intent on overthrowing the United States of America.
He’s not “creative” enough, or energetic enough, or smart enough, to do it himself, but he’s made himself into a perfectly good tool for those with the creativity, and energy, and smarts, to make a serious run at destroying the greatest republic in the history of mankind.
Is it too late for ‘fudgepacker’?
I have a fancy new mountain bike.
I actually reduced my speeds to ten from twenty.
Life is way simpler now, but I don’t mean that in a hipster doosh way.
Ask a recent marine about the PC BS they are now forced to deal with. The SJW crap and the sexual diversity training. Then tell me that does not inpact their training.
I have talked to several.
SEMPER FI Gunny, Did 6 and went to civvi street. Got to E-6 then went back down to E-4, (could not abide stateside duty).
Just a dumb old mud Marine at heart I guess, when we came back to the states we were all transferred to 5th MEB with 1st MarDiv. Got kicked loose (with Honorable) when they did a Force reduction. I guess as far as congress was concerned our war was over.
Please make sure your son knows that he is in my prayers every night, as are all Marines (and the squids, airdales and doggies). I don’t know how I would feel serving under this administration; I took an oath to the Constitution, not a person.
They can say what they want about old Crafty Richard; hell, I even got fire a 21 gun salute to him and the Pres of Mexico. I think it was in 72, never forget all those Secret Service people crawling all over our guns and ordinance, but at least he didn’t screw us with every word out of his mouth. Tell your to keep his head down and take great care. I just heard on the news that Obastard is sending more of our boys over to that mess in the Middle East.
