Banana youth (Polish: bananowa młodzież) was a term coined in the Polish People's Republic during the 1960s to denigrate the children of the nomenklatura, particularly those who participated in the March 1968 protests. The name referenced the banana as a consumer-symbol of out-of-touch affluence at the time.
