In France, Michel Clouscard was the main thinker to have predicted this transformation, seeing in the hippie movement a simple internal crisis of American capitalism, which far from being threatened was to emerge only stronger from these events.

"Yuppie" (short for "young urban professional" or "young, upwardly-mobile professional") The term is first attested in 1980, when it was used as a fairly neutral demographic label; by the mid-to-late 1980s, when a "yuppie backlash" developed, due to concerns over issues such as gentrification, some writers used the term as a pejorative.
