Uptown Girl by Billy Joel song meaning, lyric interpretation, video and chart position. Uptown Girls CastUptown Girl - TV Tropes. The poor girl has fallen in love with the Gentleman Snarker, or the Unlucky Everydude secretly courts the daughter of the richest man in town. And she loves him too. Maybe it was Love at First Sight. Maybe she has a habit of slipping out to the seedier side of town for a night of fun. Maybe they've been friends their whole lives and the difference in status never really mattered. Will their love be enough to let them be happy together? People around them, however, do, and conspire to interfere with True Love. Undaunted, our hero engages in some Zany Scheme to get her to notice him or be impressed by him. This usually ends with the girl revealing that she doesn't care if he's rich or poor, and that she loves him for who he is. When he finds out, he's either intimidated by her wealth once he finds out, or else doesn't think he's good enough for her. As before, she doesn't care about such things, and has to convince him that he's the one she wants. Also often leads to cases of I Can't Believe a Guy Like You Would Notice Me, either with severe case of insecurity (like the third type above), or simply the poor guy being constantly feeling lucky and appreciative that someone so rich could fall for him. If it's not just the fact that she comes from money, but that he feels like she's above him, she's a Peerless Love Interest. Compare with All Girls Want Bad Boys, which often follows the same socioeconomic groups (or the inverse, if the girl is The Ingenue and the boy is an Gentleman Snarker or Spoiled Brat). Can overlap with Single Woman Seeks Good Man as it is the guy's personality that wins her heart (as is the case mentioned above). Not to be confused with City Mouse either. On the other hand, it may become an Undead Horse Trope with the emergence of culture wars and new waves of social stratification. Hisana was a commoner from one of the worst Rukongai districts while Byakuya was a noble from one of the four most powerful and highly ranked noble houses in Soul Society. The social inequality between them didn't bother Byakuya and Hisana, but the Kuchiki clan was appalled. Byakuya eventually won the fight to have Hisana as his wife, but she fell sick and died five years after they were married. As an Echt, Ryuuken was a Quincy Blue Blood from one of the most powerful families alive and expected to marry another Echt. As a Gemischt, Kanae was Ryuuken's servant and bodyguard. Only when the Arranged Marriage plan falls through are Ryuuken's relatives willing to let him and Kanae Marry for Love. Kanae dies six years before the main story begins, targeted for her commoner status. Nadeshiko Amamiya and Fujitaka Kinomoto in Cardcaptor Sakura. Resulted in Nadeshiko being disowned by her wealthy family; she doesn't mind that much as Fujitaka was no Gold Digger, and she works as a model while he continues teaching and they live in a tiny but cozy apartment with their children. Though Fujikata's finances seemed to have improved somehat given that he and his family live in a large, spacious house, Sakura's potential love interests are both very much wealthier than her. Syaoran's family is Old Money, from one of China's most prestigious magical families. And Tomoyo (if your shipping preferences run that way is Sakura's second cousin on her mother's side and lives in a seriously. Big Fancy House and her mother Sonomi's company is implied to be just one branch of very large family fortune. Made even more complicated by Claudine being transsexual. It then turns out the viscount was impotent and Saki's actually the son of a prostitute who he sheltered in order to appear to have an heir. Slightly inverted in that Haine is not poor in any real sense; she's just significantly less wealthy than Shizumasa. Still, it plays just as the trope is described. Arthur's friend from school also tries to romance Laurent. Daniel works to be knighted just so he can be with Tsubaki, but his fixation on class causes even more tension because Tsubaki doesn't want to be associated with the noblility's prostitute system and would rather Daniel had run away with him when they were kids. She saves him from his (parents') debt, and he ends up serving her as a Battle Butler to pay her back. For her, it seems to be mostly just an excuse to keep him around. An obstacle in their relationship is that Setsuna feels unworthy of Konoka because she is a commoner while Konoka is a blue- blood. Taki is second- in- line to the throne in his own country. When Taki and Klaus first meet Klaus is of the nobility. Eventually Klaus' family lose that status because the monarchy is dissolved when the country falls to the Western Alliance, placing him in the wealthy middle class. Later, when Klaus becomes Taki's knight, he has to renounce his country, his name and status and becomes the lowest of the low in Taki's country. Their romance has been developing through all of this, but really comes into force after Klaus has lost his upper- class status. Previously, Usui's parents. The series seems to subvert the expectation that Louise's family would be hostile to Saji, as Louise's mother quickly takes to him, especially after hearing that he's an orphan, and basically treats him like a second child (which actually makes Louise jealous, a reaction played for comedy). Unfortunately, the series has a large dose of Break the Cutie for both of them. Starting with the massacre of Louise's entire family, at which point this trope becomes the least of their problems. Mr Kayashimas Graceful Life features an emotionally stunted Upper- Class Twit whose only real interest in life is his relationship with his gardener. Hinata is (or was) the heiress of the Hyuuga Clan and probably the closest Konoha had to a princess after Tsunade left, while Naruto was the village pariah. However, by the time their romance actually starts (seeing as it took years for Naruto to acknowledge Hinata's feelings), he had already become the Homegrown Hero who had saved the world, along with (presumably) being revealed as the son of the Fourth Hokage. Even if anyone wanted to object a relationship between them, they couldn't because Naruto's credentials and achievements far outstripped any possible obstacles in regards to his social status. In fact, one could easily argue that Hinata is the one marrying above her station. The titular Nogizaka Haruka is the daughter of a ludicrous wealthy and powerful family, and the lower- middle- class Ayase Yuuto initially winds up as her confidant when he accidentally discovers her deep, dark secret.. As they spend time together, however, a relationship blooms - initially a type- 1, but as Yuuto realizes just HOW wealthy her family is, and what kind of powerful people she usually rubs elbows with (not to mention what kind of men are actively pursuing marriage with her), he slips into a type- 3 as he starts to feel 'unworthy' of her. Her father agrees, but who knows? Maybe there's a way for him to gain their respect.. Tsurezure is upper middle class at best. People comment on how weird it is, but nobody seems to have a problem with it (Haru's father even seems to be a Shipper on Deck). However, they cannot do anything about it because of the reward Tomoe's grandfather gave as thanks for saving the family's finances. Meanwhile his actual lover is a former Street Urchin and fears if Iori marries he'll never see Iori again because the family won't need him to quietly sell off their possessions anymore (the only reason their friendship was tolerated in the first place). Emma, an orphan maid, is pursued by, and falls in mutual love with, William Jones, a wealthy member of the upper- class gentry. In this case it's a matter of the third version of this trope, with Emma thinking that her lack of refinement and rank will only hurt William's station and cause trouble for him if they were to marry. The Parental Marriage Veto doesn't help matters. It's played straight with William and Eleanor, the daughter of a broke viscount who wants her to marry into the Nouveau Riche Joneses to restore their fortune. William's father wants him to marry Eleanor to improve their social status. In a subversion, each girl rejects her beau's affections — Yoriko, because Saki is a foreign prince who might die since his Qurac- like nation is torn bt civil war; Aoi, because she simply isn't interested in Gorou beyond friendship. Tinya Wazzo (Phantom Girl) is the daughter of a rich, high- society family. Jo Nah (Ultra Boy) is a former gang member who lived on the streets. He ended up marrying Anya, the daughter of a millionaire. Dmitri doesn't take it well. Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy. He's a poor kid from Queens trying to help his Aunt May pay the bills and make rent. She's a well to do high society girl whose father, a retired NYPD captain, hangs around media tycoon J. Jonah Jameson and industrialist Norman Osborn. This is always forgotten with everyone remembering Gwen as The Girl Next Door Fan Fic General: Almost any fanfic pairing the aristocratic Inspector Lynley and his working- class partner Sergeant Havers will inevitably have to deal in some fashion with their wide social disparity. Satou disapproves of Hisao for, among other factors (his disability being most prominent), being a . Fridge Logic ensues when you realize that he married a journalist, but he later admits that he wanted to believe that Hisao was unworthy of Lilly and that she would be better off in Scotland, so it's possible he was looking for reasons that might reflect badly on Hisao. Xiaolin Showdown: Raimundo and Kimiko. She herself has very little to do with the plot (and had been dead for tens of thousands of years) but Nanoha brought her up as a method of psychological warfare while fighting Tsukuyomi (and proof that Amaterasu hadn't been captured but rather willingly come to her for help). Sometimes it lasts, sometimes it ends badly. In general, if it's gender- reversed (as in .
