Name provided for 20-something, upper middle class,
young professional or
graduate student who also "balls". This is different from someone who is "preppy" or a "young trendy professional" or "hipster" in that his or her appreciation for hip hop culture contributes to his or her overall personality, behavioral traits, and personal associations. There has been a rise in "
White collar ballers" in recent years, as many students in the "fraternity culture" have drifted from the "good ol boy" and "country music" loving ways of the past, to a greater appreciation not only for hip hop, but its culture, and contribution to the American Zeitgeist.
