fast times

Reckless teenage years

Fast times refers to a period of intense, often reckless living—heavy partying, casual sex, substance use, and general hedonism.

The phrase evokes youth culture and its excesses: We had some fast times in college.

It suggests experiences that are thrilling but potentially destructive, lived at an unsustainable pace.
