09er (pronounced "oh-niner") is slang created by teenagers in Neptune that defines a group of popular, wealthy, and powerful citizens, who generally live in the wealthy 90909 ZIP Code. 09ers are not well-appreciated as most 09ers are wealthy and sometimes like to gloat about their wealth and the lower class citizens of California envy and hates them.
Veronica Mars remarks that 09ers are people who either own big industries or work for them. But some 09ers became rich and wealthy due to their own personal gain during their lives while others gained their wealth by participating in acts of crime.
