I would say that "us youngsters" and "we youngsters" are both commonly used and relatively interchangeable with each other. If you were looking to use an individual form, unfortunately, "me youngster" would be grammatically incorrect. You would have to instead me "Me, a youngster". Ex: Well, it's me, a youngster, who is driving this trend. Ex: We youngsters are trendsetters. = Us youngsters are trendsetters.
