In the 1980s the symbolic figure crystallized by the media was the “Yuppie”. The term was
an acronym for the young, upwardly mobile professional man or woman. What distinguished the
yuppies was that, rather than rebelling against the system, they preferred to exploit it for personal
advantage.
Newsweek magazine hailed 1984 as the “year of the Yuppie” and devoted a special report
to the yuppie phenomenon, which tended to describe yuppies as a collection of lively oddities. We
are told that yuppies, male and female, are interested not only in their economic but also in their
physical well-being. They spend a good many hours exercising; at the same time, they find food,
especially exotic food, more important than do most Americans. They make their dinning, to use a
slang expression, a “class act.” The same holds true for the way they dress, and how they conduct
themselves. The success of their efforts to climb both the businesses and social ladder can be
advanced or retarded by the scarf around their neck or the cut of their hair. The emphasis is on
image and the image is opposite of romantic. The image, which they fabricate as necessary, is
what will take them to the top. Or that’s what they think!
