Following a recent article on the death of the hipster and rise of a new category of millennial, Mashable has launched a quiz to determine if you're a yuccie. This new subset of humanity is described by writer David Infante as young urban creatives who are more tech-savvy and mainstream than (but still almost identical to) hipsters, but aren't yuppies either.

Created by Max Knoblauch and Andrea Romano, the [yuccie quiz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemonquizzy) asks culture and lifestyle questions about the neighborhood you live in, what you do for a living, your college major and more. The tongue-in-cheek answers you get to choose from are definitely intended for members of [Generation Y](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/news-sources).

The emergence of this [new stereotype](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elder-millennial-skincare-kit) is definitely one marketers will want to follow.
