Mnemonic

The evening is when all the youths (ゆう) come outside to play.

Hints

Young people love staying up the entire evening doing youth-people things, and it's really obnoxious for us curmudgeonly folk.

Note: All the ゆう readings will use the word "youths" for the reading mnemonic. You can think of these "youths" as a group of younger people who cause a lot of the problems in this world, just like how people treat millennials nowadays.
