Yeah, hippies are annoying, but if they're not hypocrites, how could you not love one? :D Yuppies are just greedy b*stards.

I voted Yuppies. At least hippies try to fix something for the world. Yuppies are, or come off selfish.

Sounds a lot like rap stars :P

Hippies are definitely more annoying.
They had their time and place......30 years ago.....
Anyone now still acting that way (and I do mean ACTING) is a wannabe.

Hippies.
"At least hippies try to fix something for the world."
Living in communes, smoking boatloads of pot/hashish, ingesting barrels of psychedelics, "free love",...
"fixed the" world how?
That's like saying that vegans or those wacky PETA loons are trying to fix something for the world."

Those aren't real hippies ... there HIPPYcrites, and the PETA people and vegans have good ideas, some are just a-holes about it.

I think we can all be broadly be classified as one or the other. I'd actually have to say Yuppies, at least they contribute to society. No, just joking. I don't really like to group people into labels.

I want to be a vegetarian as an adult but I can't now because my parent's won't let me. I don't want to defy them, so I'll eat meat till I'm independent. :D

i'd vote yuppies cause it sounds like a lot of people really can't stand 'em, but i love the clothes they wore!
especially the part in pretty in pink where iona gets normal and comes out in that red turtleneck and sweet blazer. of course, she looked ten times cooler when she wasn't normal.... :D

Not true at all. I've known a lot of pople who are currently hippies, and really the real thing. Some of them are FROM that era, some aren't.

Don't let all those hippie votes sway you.  Yuppie was just a name for someone who earned a decent paycheck, dressed nice, had a nice car, nice house, etc.  Just because one may have money it doesn't make them a jerk or snob.

Want to see some real hippies? Go to Flaggstaff, AZ. Yeow, makes me want to take a shower and shave.

I agree. Hippies are the bomb! My only problem with them is some are a bit too angry and snappy, but not all of them are. I'm a bit of a Hippy myself :)

Not all yuppies are/were jerks though.

I'm sure if everyone here had money just about everyone would go and buy a nice car, house, clothes........and guess what.......you would not automatically be a jerk. Money doesn't make you a jerk, insecurity does.

True ... but being rich doesn't necessarily mean you're a Yuppie. Yuppie implies snooty, but Yuppies aren't necessary a*ses.

I'm really not trying to argue with you :-\\ but if you look in the dictionary there is no mention of snob in the definition of Yuppie. I think that it is just a stereotype of a Yuppie. You know, someone with a BMW and a Polo shirt with a sweater tied around the neck.

Okay :) You're right. Are yuppies stil around or did they disappear in the 90s?

I agree. Really no clique goes away. Hippies, Valley Girls, Nerds, Jocks, whatever, they're still around, but they're either less common or we call em something else. Also some of the cliques have simply changed or people realize that all people are different.
