"Youth of the Nation" is a song by American Christian metal band P.O.D. It was released on November 27, 2001, as the second single to come from their second major label album, Satellite. It was inspired in part by the school shootings at Santana High School and Columbine High School. "Youth of the Nation" became the band's only No. 1 hit on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and reached No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100, their only single to reach the top 40.
