Morphology
yuccie + lifestyle
The compound is a simple noun + noun composition: 'yuccie lifestyle' means the lifestyle of 'yuccies', so if a learner knows the lexical meaning of 'yuccie' and 'lifestyle' the overall meaning is directly derivable. Note, however, that 'yuccie' is a slang/neologism (blend of 'young urban creatives') often absent from dictionaries, so learners who do not already know that label will not be able to infer it from general knowledge.
Etymology
Yuccie lifestyle may come from joining the words young, urban, and creative, so imagine a young person in the city making art, starting businesses, and spending time in trendy cafés. That's why the phrase describes a way of living focused on creativity, new businesses, and a fashionable city attitude.
