The term "yuppie" came into use during the 80's. The young adults and teenagers (I suppose youth was misleading) were being targeted with the term. These people were born in the 60's, and were offspring of the Kaboomers. Hence, they were Gen X'ers.

When it came in to use does not effect it's meaning. There are new yuppies driving into the metro areas for their high powered careers as we speak. They're not all gen x ers.
In fact, gen x ers aren't even young anymore.

The term hasn't even been widely used since the early 90's, so yeah, its specific to Gen X'ers. Its not like the Kaboomers haven't been trashing the younger generation since it originated... They're just jealous that both their parent and child generations are far better than they are.
Except the people who worked didn't make the decisions, the ones who do today both in the corporate world and government are not the baby boomers, they are the BB children in most cases. Check out the people who created the housing bubble or the stock transfers and credit defaults swaps and derivative complexity. This ain't the old timers, they were too busy working to make life better for the next generation who bought into a libertarian greed incentive.
"Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone." John Maynard Keynes
"The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed, the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back. I am sure that the power of vested interests is vastly exaggerated compared with the gradual encroachment of ideas.. But, soon or late, it is ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous for good or evil." John Maynard Keynes

The Gen X'ers move into the world of finances and invent new ways to "make" money and look what happened....
Gen X'ers with MBA's are dangerous.
That's true. But who encouraged this sellout mindset? Post war years, Jew manipulated old people.
