Young Americans
Adolescents from here
Young Americans is a phrase that simply describes Americans who are young, but it carries cultural weight from its use as a title—most notably David Bowie's 1975 song and album celebrating American soul music.
The phrase often evokes generational identity, youth movements, or the aspirations and anxieties of American youth: Young Americans are increasingly pessimistic about homeownership.
It can sound slightly nostalgic or rhetorical, invoking idealism about what the next generation represents.
