It’s simple. The Yippie= Hippie + Yuppie, and that’s who we are.
Over the past few years, we’ve noticed a transformation in a portion of our generation. Several of us have gone from being Yuppies (you know, the java loving, GAP wearing, iPhone using 20-somethings) to “pseudo” Hippies (by recycling, driving Priuses, and wearing aluminum-free deodorant). Except, we’re stuck in the middle. We love our daily Corporate Starbucks fixes, but we don’t like meat. We want to be free spirited and nature loving- but we can’t pry away from our iPhones and facebook. So, lets compromise. No more putting us in the corner…We are Yippies!
Are you? Go on, call yourself one! Maybe we can even make this a movement. Let’s try to get it into the dictionary. Or better, Wikipedia!
So, this blog is going to be about all things Yippie. From the up and coming technology to the latest and greatest social movements to recommendations for products with no chemicals.
This is your guide, Mister and Misses Yippie. Feel free to e-mail us. Ask for our advice. If we know it, we’ll tell you, if we don’t we’ll Google it and tell you. If you want to write a guest blog, let us know!
In true Obama fashion, we’re gonna act all transparent (umm, or try to, we’re still going to pre-screen your comments like a good old town hall debate. Sorry- no need for disgruntled ex’s to use this as their forum).
So, welcome Yippies from the city, welcome Yippies from the country. Welcome Yippies that were hippies or yuppies.
Here's a secret, we’re rumored to be the voice of change…. so let’s unite!
The goal of the Yippie is simple. We want to be the voice of our collective generation. No more Red State/ Blue State talk. We are actually more united than ever. We watch the same TV, we read the same news (those of us who still do), we use the same internet, we buy the same products and we contribute to the same corporations. So what’s with all of these marginalizing labels?
It can make positive things happen a bit faster by working together.
