Youth Of Today Albums
Youth is the time of life when one is young. The word, youth, can also mean the time between childhood and adulthood ( maturity), but it can also refer to one's peak, in terms of health or the period of life known as being a young adult. Youth is also defined as "the appearance, freshness, vigor, spirit, etc., characteristic of one, who is young". Its definitions of a specific age range varies, as youth is not defined chronologically as a stage that can be tied to specific age ranges; nor can its end point be linked to specific activities, such as taking unpaid work, or having sexual relations. Youth is an experience that may shape an individual's level of dependency, which can be marked in various ways according to different cultural perspectives. Personal experience is marked by an individual's cultural norms or traditions, while a youth's level of dependency means the extent to which they still rely on their family emotionally and economically.

The band helped develop the New York hardcore sound, the hardcore skinhead style and the youth crew subgenre.

Chung King Can Suck It (LP)
''Chung King Can Suck It'' is a limited-pressing colored vinyl album by New York City band Judge, containing the original version of what was to be the ''Bringin' It Down'' album. The title of the album is a direct insult to the Chung King recording studio in New York City (then known as Chung King House of Metal). Album history Judge had gone into Chung King with only one three-day weekend of studio time block-booked in order to record their first album, since band members John Porcelly and Sammy Siegler were set to tour with their main band Youth of Today in Europe later that month. The studio was home to many of the popular (and now legendary) rap acts of the day, including the Beastie Boys, Run-DMC and LL Cool J; Youth Of Today had recorded their third album ''We're Not in This Alone'' at the same studio earlier in the year, so Porcelly and Siegler were already familiar with the place. According to a 2005 interview with Judge guitarist Porcell in ''AMP'', all three of tho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
