I have a quick question about the word "молодежь" - lingvo.yandex.ru gives the definition as "youth, young people". Does this mean that it's only a collective noun referring to youth as a whole, or can it also be applied to a single youth, like the English word "youth" can be?

It was a fairly ironic reference, so I think it's okay. I would have used some more generic word like человек otherwise. =) But I'll see for sure when my professor looks over it.
