What's another word/phrase for yuppie?

[Edit] I knew I should have added "the least derogatory word/phrase..." No, really...a word that connotates the young, chic, urban, trendy, fashion conscious that hang out in clubs that are all polished hardwood and stylized chrome and just spartan enough to make sure it's clear that they're cool...

You could always expand it to its original meaning: "young urban professionals".

I also like "trendoid hipsters", especially my own concocted phrase, "neo-Bohemian trendoid hipsters".

No, which is why I'm trying to find a good alternative.
