Reagan Youth (a play on Hitler Youth) was formed Dave Insurgent (Dave Rubinstein) and guitarist Paul Bakija in Queens in the early 1980s. The band was together for nearly a decade, but released only one album, Youth Anthems for the New Order, which was later collected along with other material for A Collection of Pop Classics.

The band suffered from the tumultuous life of Insurgent who was an occaisonal drug dealer and heavy user.
