Gjetost! Cryptoyuppieism! :-) 
Being a fervent Nothing In Particular, I can maintain Nippie ideological
purity while enjoying brie, chocolate truffles (for which we can 
thank the Yuppies), sourdough bread and peanut-
butter-and jelly sandwiches on white bread(not necessarily all in one 
sandwich).  The key is genuine enjoyment, whether it's trendy like 
Bavarian blue or not, like Cheddar or Bashkir folk music.
Why bother following or rejecting trends - just enjoy!
