1980's and the Yuppies gaining more leisurely lifestyles.
Inherited wealth plus high paying jobs made a lot of upper middle class people believe they were royalty. The great inflation of the 70's helped tremendously as wealth trickled up.

It wasn’t that society started looking down on blue collar jobs, it’s that parents who held those jobs stressed the importance of an education, so their kids wouldn’t have to perform manual labor. I speak from first hand experience and if I lost my white collar job and all that was available was a blue collar job, I’d take it to feed my family. No shame in honest work.
