Now that’s one of the funniest comments I’ve ever read. I like your enthusiasm and energy. But I don’t get it.

You hate yuppies - okay I understand that much. But perhaps you’re missing something.

Yuppie is short for young urban professional, meaning a young person living in a city who has a profession.

I guess you’re saying that all young people who live in the city should be jobless. Or maybe all city dwellers with jobs should be old. Or all young people with jobs should live in the suburbs.

Oh now I get it. All young people belong in the suburbs. That makes sense.

yuppies suck big fucking ass and anyone who is a yuppie should die a horrible slow death, while i watch and roast hotdogs over a slow fire. fuck all yuppies and anything they do or are connected to.

Yeah, that’s the problem with this quiz… If you get a high score you could say “Cool, I’m indie”… or “Shit, I’m a yuppie.”

I guess it’s a glass half full/half empty kinda thing.

i didn’t have to read a word past the headline before thinking god yes.

i know because i stuck my head in a new “gallery” run by anarcho-leftist teens in my town one night on my way home from my (rewarding in two ways) job, hoping for cool. it sucked, so i left fast, and they called me a “fucking yuppie” on my way out. boohoo, the anarcho-leftist teens hate me. i still like better music than they do.

Scored a 10, almost tipping indie yuppiedom…with a “rebel yell”, and agree Arcade Fire is badass. Your site is great by the way, got the link from your comment on my blog.

Yeah, that one fit me pretty well too, Frank. It kind of sucks that I feel like I have to justify whether or not I like a band, but it’s true. At least it’s true when I’m on the fence. There are other times when I don’t factor in what others might think. Like Modest Mouse, a band that has become extremely popular. Their popularity doesn’t sway me, because the music is incredible.

7 for me…I’m happy with that. #15 describes a current predicament as well as it can be described

Hmmm… You have an odd website, Joey. None of the links were working for me. Maybe that’s intentional.
