I'm not fond of the YA label (plenty fond of some of the stuff that gets painted by that brush, though)--whether it's attached to dystopia or otherwise. I've read many a "YA" book that I'd have never really considered YA if it hadn't been labeled so at the time of its publication. I don't even think YA is being marketed to young readers all that much any more. Nowadays, it seems to be marketed toward Regular Adults who enjoyed a lot of books that were labeled Young Adult in the past. A self-perpetuating misnomer, if you will. In fact, most of the "YA" stuff I've enjoyed; I'd label "All Ages" (if I had to label it anything). It's like the marketing equivalent of a McGuffin most times, if you ask me.
