Rhythm of Youth is the debut album of Canadian synth-pop group Men Without Hats, released in 1982. The album propelled them to fame with its second single, "The Safety Dance".
The U.S. release of this album featured a different track listing, which replaced "Living in China" with an edited version of "Antarctica" (the full version of which appeared on Folk of the 80's) and included an extended version of "The Safety Dance".
This album was re-released on CD in Canada in 1997 by Oglio Records as part of a "two-fer" including Folk of the 80's (Part III).
