All right, fess up - are you an alt-yuppie?
1) THE ALT-YUPPIEHe said money didn’t matter. He said he’d keep it real. But damn, is that MacBook Pro expensive! So are All Stars (if they’re Varvatos) and messenger bags (if they’re Jack Spade). He drinks PBR in public but saves the Puligny-Montrachet for his refurbished loft. His video iPod plays Kid A at a high volume. At his side, you’ll find a woman in cowboy boots. She will hail from a Connecticut suburb.
This is from the latest Details issue--in which there is a brilliant article about how "gen-Xers" who supposedly are rebelling against their yuppie parents are really just following suit, thanks to brilliant marketing agencies, etc. So fess up--are you an alt-yuppie?

your mom's an alt yuppie...
Joe,
I really like how you keep your blog completely devoid of substance ;). Anywho, I think this deserves unsolicited thoughtless commentary.
If you are a GenXer (minimum age 28) and you are rebelling against your parents yuppiness (because you still live at home?) through your fashion (because that's the way to rebel in your late 20's to 40's), then you got bigger problems than that man-bag.
