"Youth Gone Wild" was a song and single off of Skid Row's 1989 debut album, Skid Row. It is a fast, heavy metal song with lyrics basically referring to the pointless, fun rebellious attitude of youth. The music video on MTV got heavy airplay. However, while the album itself was a major hit and went multi-platinum in the USA and other countries, "Youth Gone Wild" as a single only reached #99 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

This song is also played in the mountain bike movie New World Disorder 6.

It has been covered by a Finnish death metal band Norther on their single "Released."
