Junge Römer


a slang term popular in early/mid 1980s germany and austria, which was the equivalent of the english term, “yuppie”. this neologism was used in much the same way to mock a new wave of american-influenced young urban sophisticate twenty-somethings in austria and west germany at the time.

translated from german, “junge römer” means “young roman(s)” (the term can denote both singular – when used for a male – and plural), likening the heightened style of living of these young europeans to that of many of the extravagant uppercl-ss romans in rome’s golden age.

the term was popularized further by austrian pop/rock singer, falco, in 1984 with his song by the same name, which glamorized the junge römer lifestyle (falco counted himself among this group of people).
from falco’s, junge römer:
“junge römer, die nacht ist jung wie ihr,
vergesst das morgen.”

translation: young romans, the night is young like you, forget the morning.
