Club Kid

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 Kylie Minogue and Anne Robinson as gay icons. Lady Gaga has become the new de facto Diva of more recent works.

Comics

 * Many of the characters in Ralf König's comics, depending on series/work.
 * Most Gays (and there are many of them!) in Pondus

Film
""I feel like Demi Moore in St Elmos Fire""
 * Zach Braff (yes, that one) plays one such character in The Broken Hearts Club, or at least his character is trying to be one to impress his Gym Bunny boyfriend. Eventually OD's on magic nose powder just in time for a cast catharsis. He lives.


 * Pretty much the entire cast of Queer As Folk.
 * Party Monster was about the Club Kids of the early 90s, and the figures the group grew up around.
 * Bent has the protagonist start off as the 1930's equivalent to this trope. Being a drug abusing promiscuous cabaret goer.

Live Action TV

 * 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. Who says stereotypes are dead?
 * To be fair, the whole cast is doing pills. Plus he doesn't want to be a tap dancer in musicals, just get into show business through dancing. Other than that, he's written as Straight Gay.
 * He's also, despite the incident with the closeted bully he makes out with, not particularly promiscuous, especially compared to the rest of the (straight) cast - he tries to reject Tony's advances and quickly rejects him early into their sexual encounter.
 * And he's the nicest and most well-adjusted of the group, overall.
 * 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.
 * Dante of The Wire; downplayed for the most part until the end of season three, when he is found Where Everybody Knows Your Flame drowning his sorrows in a Cosmopolitan.
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * Saturday Night Live features the "Weekend Update" "city correspondent" Stefon (played by Bill Hader), who is one of the more benign examples of the trope. Although he repeatedly describes incredibly bizarre clubs despite Seth Meyers asking him for something more normal (like somewhere Midwestern tourists might want to go, or perhaps couples on Valentine's Day), you can tell he means well and gives these examples because he really is clueless about anything else. He's also one of the funnier things on the show in its current era.
