Young adult

A person between the ages 18 to mid-to-late twenties who is in the life stage of finding where they fit in life. These people are in the process of getting secondary education, graduating, finding jobs, keeping jobs, building careers, getting fucked by student loans, and learning about relationships. This age group usually realizes they have commitment issues and make up for their lack of emotional detachment through casual sex with many partners. They also struggle with making adult decisions on the daily during the week while also being tempted and usually giving in to heavy drinking, wild parties, spending way too much money, not giving two fucks, and a YOLO attitude on the weekend and some week days; only to wake up on Monday morning full of regret and questioning their life decisions, maturity, and who they really are. This mental confusion leads to the need for a quick fix stress-relief, hence casual sex, which in turn worsens the emotional detachment and causes the roller coaster of young adulthood to rear its ugly head to make them feel like they are getting nowhere in life.

Young adults don't know their heads from their buttholes.

Young Adult Fiction

A genre of (primarily) novels, movies, and tv shows that often focuses on the perspective of a young teen protagonist who is a goody two-shoes mary sue messianic type of character who lives in a dystopian setting and for some reason he/she is the leader of a rebellion against a totalitarian government or uncovers a government conspiracy and seeks out to liberate the people of his/her dystopian nation. Often this is a cheap way of writing a story because the intended audience are tween age kids, teenagers, and even college students because people of these age groups are easily impressed with narrow story telling and narratives that play with their sense of grandiosity.

It becomes worse with another form of Young Adult Fiction that focuses on romantic angst and (even worse) romantic angst with fantasy monsters like vampires, zombies (ehhh necrophilia!), and werewolves (that's for furries). Many of these romantic YA novels tend to focus on bland and 1 dimensional characters with extremely bizarre scenarios of drama or teen angst that are supposedly "relatable" but are really far fetched from being relatable to a irl person. Once again tween and teenage female readers tend to read this stuff because it somehow relates to their trivial problems when in reality they don't at all.

Examples of Young Adult Fiction in the science fiction dystopian setting:
The Hunger Games, Divergent, Ender's Game, Maze Runner.
Examples of Young Adult Fiction with romantic drama or romantic drama with halloween monsters:
Twilight, Paper Towns, Fault of Our Stars, Warm Bodies, A Hunger Like No Other, and lastly, Fifty Shades of Gray.
