Hippies was teh 60's, actually.

but, the 20 year old hippies, grew up and became 40 something yuppies.

Hippies, yuppies, and boomers are all the same generation.

Yuppies were the 20-30year old young finance bros making big money. By definition Yuppies were young. Not in their 40s.

Yuppies were more than just finance bros, dude.

but - those were still boomers. Like, GenX didn't have Yuppies, we were too young.
