Youth of Today was an American hardcore punk band whose vocalist was from Danbury, Connecticut, and whose remaining members were from various parts of New York. Commonly referred to as a New York Hardcore band, the band played an important role in establishing the youth crew subculture of hardcore, both espousing and evolving the philosophies of the straight edge and vegetarian lifestyles. Youth of Today was formed in Danbury Connecticut in 1985 by two members of the hardcore band Violent Children, Ray Cappo (vocals) and John Porcelly (guitar), aiming to start a Straight Edge band at a time when most old school Straight Edge bands had disbanded. Having difficulty finding a bassist and drummer, Ray and Porcell found help from two high school friends, Graham Philips and Darren Pesce, who had played with Porcell in a band called The Young Republicans in the past.
