''Youthanasia'' is the sixth studio album by American heavy metal band Megadeth, released on November 1, 1994, through Capitol Records. It is stylistically similar to their previous album, ''Countdown to Extinction'' (1992). The title is a play on words, implying that society is euthanizing its youth. The cover art features an elderly woman hanging babies by their feet on a seemingly endless clothes line, a direct reference to a line in the title track. ''Youthanasia'' received positive reviews upon its release. It was commercially successful, peaking at number 4 on the ''Billboard'' 200 chart, and in 1995 was certified platinum for shipping one million copies in the United States.

Music and lyrics The music video for "A Tout le Monde" was banned by MTV, who claimed it was pro-suicide. However, in an interview conducted around 1994, Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine stated: It's not a suicide song.

I think all of us are sweating bullets all the time. Society's a joke right now, and people are getting more and more hostile.
