Yuppies still exist.
They just look like "Real Housewives of Orange County"...

Anyone who is rich, or acts rich, and are entirely superficial and materialistic.
The term yuppie was just more specific, because they were supposed to be ex-hippies, who gave up being socially aware, free-thinkers, and became materialistic. Pretty much any hippie that did it as a phase, or just for fun, then went back to being a money-grubbing materialist. I just tend to consider any superficial materialistic person a yuppie. Even if they were never anything else...
