It depends on what your looking for. Urban/Suburban, conservative/moderate/liberal, warm/cold, big/medium/small and the list goes on.

could have fooled me. I am in my 20's and have had hella fun in all 4 of those cities. And there is lots more to Denver than just skiing. that is just a ridiculous stereotype

Atlanta is NOT just for the "hip hop" or "AA" crowd. You people are so backwards and 90s on your view of the city. Get with the TIMES! This is a NEW Atlanta!

It is a place for ALL people, but esp. young people, of EVERY race. It is GREEN, URBAN, INTERNATIONAL, and GENTRIFYING.

This is a sample of the NEW Atlanta:

Columbus should be on this list. Same tier as Austin. It has one of the higher "young professional age" population percentages in the entire midwest, is more hip, and has a good economy. Within the midwest columbus would be one of the if not the "young city" for the same reasons as the others.

None of these cities. I would say that Chicago beats all of these cities for young people. I also like Miami and Los Angeles. New York is great if you have money but most young people don't have much money.

I won't bash another city but I will say this. Whatever your top 5 cities are, those are the best for young people.
