What most people think of when they think of the "gay lifestyle", including every bad stereotype of homosexual communities in general: people who hang out at disco-esque bars that play constant techno while popping tons of dangerous drugs and having as much promiscuous sex as possible. Club Kids are also known as "scenesters" if they also adopt every tedious, shrieking gay cliché known to man, like worshipping whoever is the current pop diva when the story takes place. Note: Within LGBT culture itself, the Club Kids were a group of performers and personalities known in the New York City scene for their outrageous, flamboyant avant garde performances and fashion as well as their dissolute lifestyle. If someone is described as a "club kid" in this context, picture someone dressed like Lady Gaga. |

The Party and Play (PNP) character suffering from advanced HIV on the House MD episode "Hunting" relates that his dangerous lifestyle developed as a response to his shortened lifespan rather than a cause of it. | |

Maxxie Oliver from Skins. Even ignoring the fact that he has possibly the most "scene" name imaginable, he also wants to be a tap dancer in musicals, does plenty of pills at underground raves, wears a white vest and cargo shorts with his gelled blond hair and happily snogs a guy who just moments ago was yelling homophobic slurs and sent his mates to beat up Maxxie's friend. | |

Evan, from LOGO's Rick & Steve: The Happiest Gay Couple in All the World. He's so loaded on club drugs and diet pills that if he ever slept, he would die from the drugs taking effect and wreaking havoc on his body. | |

Zach Braff plays one such character in The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy, or at least his character is trying to be one to impress his Gym Bunny boyfriend. He eventually OD's on magic nose powder just in time for a cast catharsis. He lives. | |

Subverted on Degrassi: The Next Generation. Marco considers a Club Kid look, and Spinner says "Enrique called. Wants his shirt back." Of course, it took a straight guy to point it out. | |

Vince Noir on The Mighty Boosh, though he's bisexual rather than gay. He isn't as bad as some examples, thanks to his best friend Howard's calmer influence. The character of The Crack Fox, a homeless drug addict maniac who spent all his cash on booze and drugs in a gay club, is essentially what Vince would be if Howard wasn't there to reign him in. | |

During seasons 35 to 39, Saturday Night Live featured the "Weekend Update" "city correspondent" Stefon (played by Bill Hader), who is one of the more benign examples of the trope. There are implications that he's on drugs (he rarely sleeps, occasionally seems disoriented, admits to living in a trash can, and has several nervous tics—including Hader's near-constant Corpsing thanks to writer John Mulaney throwing in last-minute jokes), and he's gay (he once dated Zoolander and, after flirting with him for years, actually married Seth Meyers). Although he repeatedly recommends Seth incredibly bizarre clubs when the anchor asks for family friendly spots, you can tell he means well. | |

Bent has the protagonist start off as the 1930's equivalent to this trope, being a drug-abusing promiscuous cabaret goer. | |

David and Keith in Six Feet Under both share elements of this trope. Salsa Guy ( David's one time boyfriend)is a more extreme example, without quite being a scenester. | |

Hightown: Provincetown not only is a Gayborhood but also a major vacation spot. Because of this, a lot of LGBT+ people (but straight folks too) like to party there. This makes it a major center of drug trafficking. Jackie, the series' protagonist, is a lesbian who's also very into partying starting out. She gets into recovery after a DUI, but goes Off the Wagon later repeatedly too. | |

Fellow Travelers: The younger gay men whom Hawkins Fuller hangs out with on Fire Island fit into this largely from what's seen. Several of them are Camp Gay, they take cocaine frequently, have casual sex often, and dance at a club. Timothy Laughlin also briefly gets into the drug use and dancing when he's there. | |
