I think so. Peeps is "my people" - as Ladysmith hinted at but then the article went on to gave short shrift to the Facebook generation where peeps is "in" and probably here to stay. I just used it referring to my fellow retiree buds. Did the author of the article actually miss the point or wished the point away with a derisive comment? I think so.

The term was even difined as family or close friends and was used by a hippy character. So it has been around for a lot longer then the /90's. I heard the term “peeps” used in a Dragnet 1970 episode.
