Rational Youth is a Canadian synth-pop band that was formed in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in 1980. The band was created by a former drummer for Montreal punk bands The Normals (later known as Heaven Seventeen) and two synthesizer players. One of the synthesizer players was eventually replaced, and this new member left the group in 1983, leading to a replacement by a bassist. Rational Youth reunited for a synth-pop festival in Sweden in 1997 and was officially revived in 1998 with new members, both ex-members of another band, recording their comeback after a fourteen-year hiatus. A former member rejoined the band during the years 2012-2014, but the current line-up consists only of the original member and his wife.
