Take the pop culture acronym challenge
Yute is a term that refers to young people, often used in communities with Caribbean or Jamaican influences. It can be heard in casual conversations, music, and social media, typically used by people part of or familiar with these cultures to describe teenagers or young adults in a lively way.
The term yute traces its origins to Jamaican Patois, where it's a phonetic spelling of "youth." You might encounter the term not just in Jamaica but also in areas with strong Caribbean communities, such as parts of London, New York, and Toronto. As reggae and dancehall music have become more popular worldwide, so too has the usage of yute.
