A yuppie (/ˈjʌpi/; short for "young urban professional" or "young upwardly-mobile professional") is defined by one source as being "a young college-educated adult who has a job that pays a lot of money and who lives and works in or near a large city". This acronym first came into use in the early 1980s.
Joseph Epstein was credited for coining the term in 1982, although this is contested. The first printed appearance of the word was in a May 1980 Chicago magazine article by Dan Rottenberg. The term gained currency in the United States in 1983 when syndicated newspaper columnist Bob Greene published a story about a business networking group founded in 1982 by the former radical leader Jerry Rubin, formerly of the Youth International Party (whose members were called yippies); Greene said he had heard people at the networking group (which met at Studio 54 to soft classical music) joke that Rubin had "gone from being a yippie to being a yuppie". The headline of Greene's story was From Yippie to Yuppie.East Bay Express humorist Alice Kahn claimed to have coined the word in a 1983 column. This claim is disputed. The proliferation of the word was affected by the publication of The Yuppie Handbook in January 1983 (a tongue-in-cheek take on The Official Preppy Handbook), followed by Senator Gary Hart's 1984 candidacy as a "yuppie candidate" for President of the United States. The term was then used to describe a political demographic group of socially liberal but fiscally conservative voters favoring his candidacy.Newsweek magazine declared 1984 "The Year of the Yuppie", characterizing the salary range, occupations, and politics of yuppies as "demographically hazy". The alternative acronym yumpie, for young upwardly mobile professional, was also current in the 1980s but failed to catch on.
"Yuppie Rap" has finally been transferred to HD in all of its 16mm grainy goodness!
Yuppie Rap is the classic music video from 1989 that parodies the "have-it-all" lifestyle. Mike Saad wrote the lyrics and I wrote the music and played the lead character. (I posted Mike's lyrics below.)

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.

There was record company interest in Yuppie Rap, but they didn't know what to do with a parody song. MTV never aired it because it didn't come from a record label. While we may not call them yuppies anymore, Yuppie Rap seems to still connect with younger fans who yearn for 80’s nostalgia.
I finally transferred the original 16mm negative to HD and recut the video which includes extending the end scene in the kitchen (filmed at Chez Jay in Santa Monica). The scene where I’m trying to model my hair after Donald Trump on a magazine cover is eerily prophetic.

YUPPIE RAP
Words by Mike Saad
Music by Bill O'Neil
It’s a brand new day. I’m Mr. VIP.
I’m gonna make some money.
It’s good to be me.
Secondary level. Upper middle management.
I’m a businessman who’s gonna make a big dent.
Paisley socks and a matching tie.
My clothes go together like ham on rye.
It’s how you look, not how you feel.
Time for another low-cal meal.
Always trying to up my percent.
I kinda wish Ronnie was still the president.
It’s what you have, not who you are.
No plain ice cream. I want a Dove Bar.
I’m a player!
Oooohh… Yup-Yup-Yuppie.
Oooohh… Upper Class Puppie.
(Pass me an Evian.)
Oooohh… Yup-Yup-Yuppie.
(A six-figure guy!)
Oooo Ooooo, Oooo…
I wasn’t always this way. Once I really cared.
But that was in the days when I had long hair.
Now my hair is moussed. I wear Louis Vuitton.
Acquisition and power are the drugs I’m on.
I workout in the morning to look like Tarzan.
Ninety bucks a week just to get this tan.
I keep real regular by eating my bran.
I’m a pseudo-intellectual kind of man.
Wheeling and dealing and working away.
I pushed all six buttons on the Xerox today.
My job you know… You know it ain’t bad.
I got where I am, ‘cause it’s owned by my Dad.
I’m a player!
Oooohh… Yup-Yup-Yuppie.
Oooohh… Upper Class Puppie.
(Does my power tie match the suspenders?)
Oooohh… Yup-Yup-Yuppie.
Oooo Ooooo, Oooo…
Blue and Gray.
I wear those colors every day.
White wine. White wine.
I drink that stuff all the time.
Dressed for success.
Dressed to impress.
Dressed for the stress.
I’m dressed to excess.
He’s a businessman.
I’m the baddest man.
Shut yo mouth!
Top down. Phone on. Feeling really care-free.
I’m looking for a girl who’s user friendly.
Saab 9000, 325.
Come and take a ride with a happening guy.
I use a gold card ‘cause I’m short on cash.
You see, I lost my ass in the ’87 crash.
California sushi. Quality time.
I’m working on a program to make my next dime.
I think I’ll sit back and watch The Wonder Years,
Thirty Something and re-runs of Cheers.
Lying here dreaming with a great big grin,
Thinking he who dies with the most toys wins.
I’m a player!
Oooohh… Yup-Yup-Yuppie.
Oooohh… Upper Class Puppie.
(Hold all my calls ‘till I’m done channeling.)
Oooohh… Yup-Yup-Yuppie.
Oooo Ooooo, Oooo…
(Gold card? Platimum card? I’ve got a Titanium card.)
Oooohh… Yup-Yup-Yuppie.
(And I can see my reflection.)
Oooohh… Upper Class Puppie.

"Yuppie Rap" has finally been transferred to HD in all of its 16mm grainy goodness!
Yuppie Rap is the classic music video from 1989 that parodies the "have-it-all" lifestyle. Mike Saad wrote the lyrics and I wrote the music and played the lead character. (I posted Mike's lyrics below.)
The video played on several music video shows including Night Flight which was a show that respected the art of music videos rather than the junky promotional tools they became for bands. We shot Yuppie Rap in and around the Santa Monica Beach where Mike and I resided with a bunch of other extras. Mike played the "Kamikaze Sushi guy" and various friends filled in the other roles. There was record company interest in Yuppie Rap, but they didn't know what to do with a parody song. MTV never aired it because it didn't come from a record label. While we may not call them yuppies anymore, Yuppie Rap seems to still connect with younger fans who yearn for 80’s nostalgia.
I finally transferred the original 16mm negative to HD and recut the video which includes extending the end scene in the kitchen (filmed at Chez Jay in Santa Monica). The scene where I’m trying to model my hair after Donald Trump on a magazine cover is eerily prophetic.

A Yuppie is term for a "young urban professional" or "young upwardly-mobile professional") is defined by one source as being "a young college-educated adult who has a job that pays a lot of money and who lives and works in or near a large city" This acronym first came into use in the early 1980s.
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 tech, 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
In the 80s, the term "yuppie" was coined. This was a slang term used to describe a young upwardly mobile business professional.

A yuppie (/ˈjʌpi/; short for "young urban professional" or "young upwardly-mobile professional") is defined by one source as being "a young college-educated adult who has a job that pays a lot of money and who lives and works in or near a large city". This acronym first came into use in the early 1980s.
Joseph Epstein was credited for coining the term in 1982, although this is contested. The first printed appearance of the word was in a May 1980 Chicago magazine article by Dan Rottenberg. The term gained currency in the United States in 1983 when syndicated newspaper columnist Bob Greene published a story about a business networking group founded in 1982 by the former radical leader Jerry Rubin, formerly of the Youth International Party (whose members were called yippies); Greene said he had heard people at the networking group (which met at Studio 54 to soft classical music) joke that Rubin had "gone from being a yippie to being a yuppie". The headline of Greene's story was From Yippie to Yuppie.East Bay Express humorist Alice Kahn claimed to have coined the word in a 1983 column. This claim is disputed. The proliferation of the word was affected by the publication of The Yuppie Handbook in January 1983 (a tongue-in-cheek take on The Official Preppy Handbook), followed by Senator Gary Hart's 1984 candidacy as a "yuppie candidate" for President of the United States. The term was then used to describe a political demographic group of socially liberal but fiscally conservative voters favoring his candidacy.Newsweek magazine declared 1984 "The Year of the Yuppie", characterizing the salary range, occupations, and politics of yuppies as "demographically hazy". The alternative acronym yumpie, for young upwardly mobile professional, was also current in the 1980s but failed to catch on.
