Youth Anthems for the New Order is the first album by punk band Reagan Youth. Recorded at High 5 Studios, NYC in 1983-1984, the album was released folded in a large two sided poster instead of a traditional album cover. It was subsequently re-released with three extra tracks as Volume 1 on New Red Archives.

The song "Degenerated" was used prominently in the film Airheads, sung by lead actor Brendan Fraser.[1] The song "I Hate Hate" was used in the 2023 animated film Robot Dreams.[2]
