What do yuppies listen to

But the shit-eating grin is still always visible in Parquet Courts, where Yuppies mostly make me think of someone's overly tense neck muscles.

Then, when the doors lock, he turns to you and shrieks, forcefully. Yuppies is a tight, white-knuckled, and genuinely unpredictable record.

The band recorded the entire first half of it in one long live take, and the nerviness of the endeavor is palpable. Songs don't start or end, they just roll right over each other, thrashing like fevered limbs in sweaty bedsheets. Location: Pittsburgh, PA. Lawyers in Love.

Let 'Hollywood' Steve Huey tell the story See: Episode of Friends where they go and see them. Stereolab, ANi Defranco, hmmm? I guess it's the eye of beholder.

I will say when the San Francisco Bay Area Artist types got good tech jobs years ago, we had to invent all new concepts of Yuppy. I fuckin' loathe Ani DeFranco with a fire that burns brighter than a thousand angry supernovas, but I wouldn't really call her shrill bleating "yuppie music. Next time you're in Starbucks take a look at the CDs they're selling -- they have their finger on the yuppie pulse.

So yes, Mark is correct; look to Starbucks, etc etc Style Council? I'm listening to the Boo Radleys, "Giant Steps. Are you a yuppie?

Yuppies, weren't they more like in '80s? I believe Banana Republic are now selling discs too. Once again, Coolio gets it wrong. So almost everyone is thinks 80s and 90s and 00's yuppie pop is evil then? I thought there would be more fans of the 80s stuff than Steve M. Sophistipop is just another name for yuppie pop isnt it? Just out of interest. Any yuppies or wannabe yuppies on ilm? I listen to that all the time. Its kind of allaround simple music. Yuppie has to be more showy and yup.

Conservative yuppie music, I'm not so sure.
