youth crew

1. A style of hardcore that emerged in New York City in the late 1980s, typified by lots of sing-along parts and mid-tempo breakdowns. Key bands include Youth of Today, Judge, Bold, and Gorilla Biscuits.
2. The fashion and aesthetic associated with youth crew hardcore. Hi-tops, "varsity" type fonts, posi, and especially straight edge are a few of the key elements.

In My Eyes are more influenced by youth crew than by old Boston hardcore.

Misspent Youth

Said of oneself by a (usually older) person when they demostrate in front of unsuspecting onlookers a physical skill that belies their innocent looks or background. Such a skill usually reveals experience with a seedy, suspicious, questionable, or possibly illegal activty. Its a humorous self-deprecating confession of sorts that this skill was acquired by having practiced it in their youth; whether that's actually true or not.

Example 1: An old guy helping a stranger (who has locked their keys in their car) quickly jimmies the door open with the dexterity of a professional car thief.
Stranger: You made that look easy?
Old Guy: Misspent youth.

Example 2: A tiny old man steps up to a pool table puts his bet down then proceeds to clear the table to everyones amazement. As he pockets his winnings.
Amazed onlooker: How'd you do that?
Old Guy: Misspent youth.

Youth Bandit

A guy who girls date who has no intention of a relationship and just uses them as they stupidly waste their youth. Example is derived from women who foolishly toss away their prime years (20s, early 30s) with guys who will never marry them and then when they wake up and want to date real guys, they are too old to marry or have kids.

"She only wanted to go out with good-looking guys, who all turned out to be youth bandits, now she is a Christmas Cake Girl"
"Instead of dating dudes when she was young and hot, she stupidly pissed away her years with mindless pretty boys who turned out to be youth bandits, and now can look forward to a future of being taken for fucking instead of getting married."
"She could have gotten married to a dude, but allowed the youth bandits to steal her formative years."

Reagan Youth

an INCREDIBLE political punk band formed in New York in the 1970's, by David "Insurgent" Rubinstein and Paul Bakija. They were Anarchist peace-punk whose songs often contained ironic and satirical messages regarding government and society. Reagan Youth broke up in the late 80's, after tension from touring and drug abuse... the break up was made official when Ronald Reagan left the White House. Thought they only released one album during the time they were a band, their influence on punk is undeniable.


in 1993 after many years of battling drug addiction and the sudden loss of his mother to a car accident and girlfriend to notorious serial killer Joel Rifkin, David Insurgent committed suicide.

Reagan Youth had a tremendious influence on punk rock.
