David Rubinstein, also known as Dave Insurgent (September 5, 1964 – July 3, 1993), was an American singer and co-founder of the New York–based hardcore punk band Reagan Youth.

As the Reagan Youth members attended Forest Hills High School, the band performed regularly at CBGB's and other venues on the United States' budding punk rock circuit.

In their original 1980s incarnation, they sought to address the parallels between the policies of president Ronald Reagan, the Christian Right and American conservatives and the beliefs of hate groups.

[1] By the late 1980s, the Reagan Youth members were frustrated and worn out from years of touring, drug use and not making money in the music industry.

Rubinstein began dating Tiffany Bresciani, a prostitute who worked on Houston Street and danced in strip clubs around the city.

They arrested the driver, Joel Rifkin, one of Long Island's more infamous serial killers, who was linked to the murders of numerous women.

[1][7] Depressed and alone after the unexpected loss of his girlfriend and mother, Rubinstein headed into a downward spiral and, on July 3, 1993, he committed suicide by drug overdose.
