音速青春（英语：Sonic Youth）是成立于1981年、发迹于纽约市的美国摇滚乐团。现任团员为瑟斯顿·摩尔（主唱、吉他）、金·戈登（主唱、贝斯、吉他）、李·拉纳尔多（主唱、吉他）、马克·艾伯德（贝斯）以及史蒂夫·雪莱（鼓）。

成军初期，音速青春代表着纽约市的无浪潮艺术与乐坛。音速青春也身兼首波美国噪音摇滚浪潮的推手，在美国日益蓬勃的地下音乐界间，特立独行的演绎了他们的硬蕊庞克思潮，引领群众聚焦于音乐型态的DIY伦理、取代钻研独特音色。音速青春因此常被视为另类摇滚风潮兴起的核心人物。

音速青春的乐风受到了广泛多样的影响，从原始庞克音乐家帕蒂·史密斯到作曲家约翰·凯吉，无所不包。音速青春被赞扬他们「重新定义了摇滚吉他的能力范围」，大量使用各式非传统吉他定弦，并以鼓棒、螺丝起子等物品加工吉他，改变乐器的音色。

Sonic Youth was an American rock band from New York City, formed in 1981. Founding members Thurston Moore (guitar, vocals), Kim Gordon (bass guitar, vocals, guitar) and Lee Ranaldo (guitar, vocals) remained together for the entire history of the band, while Steve Shelley (drums) followed a series of short-term drummers in 1985, and rounded out the core line-up. In their early career Sonic Youth were associated with the no wave art and music scene in New York City. Part of the first wave of American noise rock groups, the band carried out their interpretation of the hardcore punk ethos throughout the evolving American underground that focused more on the DIY ethic of the genre rather than its specific sound.
