Youthquake is also the name of a character in the comic book Justice Machine, and of a Canadian political book by Ezra Levant. YouthQuake is a Christian ministry. "Youthquake" was also the name of a cable TV show on the USA Network back around 1990.

Youthquake is the second album by British dance band Dead or Alive and was released in 1985. This album was their commercial breakthrough in Europe and the United States, due to the single "You Spin Me Round", which was a UK number-one hit and a top 20 hit in the United States. Additional single releases included "Lover Come Back To Me", "In Too Deep" and "My Heart Goes Bang". This was Dead or Alive's first collaboration with the Stock Aitken Waterman production team. Youthquake was re-released in 1994 with 2 bonus tracks.
