Explanation:
"Juventude" is described in the context as a generation.

As such, I would use "youth". See title of ths book:

Youth and the New Adulthood
Generations of Change
https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9789811533648

Talking of which, "generation of change" sounds like a good translation for "geração mutante". Good luck!

neutral  Oliver Simões: Youthfulness doesn't fit in here. Youthfulness: the quality or state of being young (Merriam Webster). Quality and state are not the same as "process". https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/youth
