That's the crux of the problem. Can you escape it if you're perceived as such? All the hipsters here think I'm a yuppie douche, because I'm gainfully employed, drive a 3 series coupe and have a nice condo. I don't feel like a yuppie, but as thenewgreen points out, no one thinks he's the asshole, some people just really like fresh arugula and endive salads (only kidding, don't write back about how delicious greens are). Do we dictate who we are, or do others?

I don't think much about it. But if I do, it tends to be along these lines, "would 21 year old me think I'm a douche that compromised his dreams for Arugala"? I think 21 year old me would be psyched that I spend my money on stuff that 21 year old me would have liked too. Music, instruments, good drink/food. I have a nice house but not an obnoxious hey, look at me house. I have a brilliant (and gorgeous wife) I think 21 year old me would be psyched. Am I a yuppie? I don't even know what that means. If this is what being a yuppie is though, sign me up cause I like it.
By the way, greens are delicious.
