I don't even have to look at the statistics to tell you that people 18-25 are not more than, say, 20% of people 18-DEAD.

17% for young voters is pretty decent turnout. Think about this. It was 17% of MORE VOTERS OVERALL. So, voters 17-25 saw the same sharp increase in voter turnout that EVERY OTHER AGE GROUP DID. Go figure, other age groups might be more interested in this election too
