Yuppies out

[stacksbranning]

Yuppies stereotypically are going to be considered white and male.

 

The term yuppie is a bit gay in this era, as at least in the 90s normal folk hated them, nowadays they are idolised in this society, see TOWIE, Made In Chelsea, etc...

 

Cant see  there being  any yuppies in towie

[imhim]

towie are definitely not yuppies

 

they arent even middle class

 

any of them

[stacksbranning]

Yuppies are just young middle class white people who have inherited  thier wealth from mumma and poppa who tend to wear tight ass pants/skinny jeans who live in the city .

They tend to like art and are on some save the world/say no to war vibe and are  very certified academically .

[Kurtis]

alright looked into it

 

Yuppism... is not definable entirely by income or class. Rather, it is a late-20th-century cultural phenomenon of self-absorbed young professionals, earning good pay, enjoying the cultural attractions of sophisticated urban life and thought, and generally out of touch with, indeed antithetical to, most of the challenges and concerns of a far less well-off and more parochial Middle America. For the yuppie male a well-paying job in law, finance, academia, or consulting in a cultural hub, hip fashion, cool appearance, studied poise, elite education, proper recreation and fitness, and general proximity to liberal-thinking elites, especially of the more rarefied sort in the arts, are the mark of a real man

 

I dont atch TOWIE, but Im aware of one guy thats on it, Tom Pierce, he was in my class in primary school, I'd say he's one, he got a degree in economics or something if he wasnt diverted to reality TV he prob woulda been one of them professionals.

WINNER.

 

Throw in Kurt too. Infact like I said throw in the idea of these programmes period.

fuck knows, I just know he got a first in economics or something around that area

[stacksbranning]

I think definitions change over time .

Just had to youtube this "kurt" guy (kirk) to see who he was and judging by his grammar aint no way in  hell  is  he passing  as a yuppie .

I  also know more than enough people from that show  and they aren't yuppies either .

They are cockneys/townies

[TF S4DK]

A yuppie isn't dictated by class, its about being out of touch with realities. The whole wine bar thing in the late 80s, when there was pubs way cheaper was because it was highlighting we don't wanna drink wth you poor folk, rather enjoy the company of people who spend more money than sense.

 

When your changing the high street in poor ethnic areas, guess what your out of touch with that area. Nobody trying to buy that sh*t round here, f*ck off...

 

Not everybody in Essex has money. The idea of TOWIE is to be out of touch with day to day life, hence why some Essex people hate the programme.

 

Kirk has a rich dad, who owns a nightclub, which has in effect the same mentality of the 80s wine bars...

 

Now even if the rest of the cast doesn't come from money, their intention is upward mobility.

[The Somalian]

Thankyou truth talk just need to spend a night in canary whalf night bars to see mentality

Kirks dad is a Millionaire from Yorkshire

[TF S4DK]

Look at Tom Cleverley ting, she was in it, met Cleverley, f*cked off out of it, as she had made her way.

 

These are the new generation of yuppies imo and they are somewhat heralded.

[Mr. Martinez]

Guys that wrote this are referring to the influx of daddy's little girls that can no longer afford to live in Belgravia etc.

Hence Brixton, Clapham etc, is the new spot.

The situation is dire, to the point whereby market traders are having their rent pushed up to unattainable levels to complete the circle.

[stacksbranning]

Inspired by illusions  comments in the worst  people  in town thread .

 

Havent really  had  experiences  with  gentrification  apart  from  feedback from cousins,auntys and  uncles living in  brixton but yeah...

 

Anyone had  their area  gentrified that  stayed  in  said  area , if so did you prefer  it before or afterwards ?

 

 

[Guest 90210]

why is there 5 spaces between each word?

[Captain Planet]

Had my locale degentrified (was never a place of genteel tbh)

Used to be a decent working class area, strong Italian community, not many chavs, just working class white and European people, Asians couple Caribs and obviously the odd Africans

Now 3/5 pubs have closed, chicken shops galore, and doosty negroes and asians from further in London have relocated here, the ottoman empire has invaded selling their dead replica Kervans and overpriced furniture shops nobody goes into.

Immigration is only good in moderationI have come to learn, that is real talk.

Couple respactable Asian family to run the corner shop and work in the GP, Turk for the Kebabish, Greek owned mechanics, Jamal the friendly street sweeper, Ghanaian uncle who ships goods abroad, Jewish drycleaners, Italian resteraunt. Good times, worked hard lived decent all said hello on a normal when you saw them, including the majority whites.

Gone

Now the local Gregg is closed and bought by Asians, they tried a ting and try make their own sweet shop, it flopped.

Next week I see a table in the shop like its now also a social centre.

Month later I see a counter and kebabs in the windows.

Just want a f*cking gingerbread man.

An the marlis are coming now.

Gotta go man.

[Woodpecker]

[dub]

de-gentrification is the wrong word

[Woodpecker]
