Huppie

A Huppie is a cross between a Hippie and a Yuppie. They are married and have two or more children. One or more may be adopted. They own their home and both parents work. Although, one or both works part-time so they don't have to hire help with raising their children. They may have paid help with the house cleaning but not regularly. Their homes are never really, really dirty...but often disheveled and rarely perfect. They often drive a Subaru station wagon with 4WD and racks. They may have one car and share. They may have one "family" car and one sedan. They often own bicycles with baby carriages attached. They are very well set up with technology. They often buy organic foods and shop at their local farmer's market. Huppies will just as comfortably shop at a national grocer and buy conventional foods. They probably don't shop at WalMart. They seem to like Costco. They often wear outdoor athletic gear purchased from REI or some place similar - especially while walking their children in 3-wheeled strollers. They often have more than one bank account, investments and are fully insured. Both men and women are often very attractive and in good health. Some of the women are very thin. The women often grow their hair fairly long and then have it cut and donated for wigs for cancer patients. They often have multiple college degrees. They are often content and rarely fully expressive. Most of their friends are also Huppies. They are mainly urban or suburban dwellers. They occasionally volunteer and donate money to charitable causes. They are not activists.

A Yuppie, who for superficial reasons, consider themselves to be a Hippie.

A hipster who has grown up and is now a young urban professional: a Hipster Urban Professional.

New born Huskies. Almost all puppies of all breeds look alike even in terms of size but Husky new borns can be distinguished easily.

A Huppy is an environmentally conscious Yuppie. Like their parents from the 80's they are upper middle class, high end car owners, have one child, frequent wine tastings and support local entrepenuers.

But Huppies drive hybrids, eat only organic foods, are aware of their carbon footprints, have solar panels on their roof, have their own compost heaps, support local artists, and listen to folk and world music.
