a group of eccentric, wildly flamboyant young clubgoers who more or less defined new york city nightlife in the late 1980s and early 1990s. led my michael alig, who formed a coterie of young misfits (with aliases such as james st. james, richie rich, leigh bowery, kenny kenny, walt paper and amanda lepore) and promoted the notorious disco 2000 party which took place every wednesday night at the limelight.
the limelight (now the avalon, at 6th and 21st) was homebase for the club kids. other venues included tunnel, palldium and club usa. all of these clubs were owned by peter gatien. house was the favored musical genre, ecstacy the favored drug (along with ketamine and, later on, heroin). the club kids dressed in outrageous, over the top, often risque outfits and costumes. though not exclusively gay, the rave scene they started in new york had a definite homosexual bent and was hugely popular among drag queens and transgendered individuals.
escalating drug use and overdoses and more and more cases of aids among the club kids, along with then-mayor rudy giuliani's crackdown on nightlife in manhattan led to the demise of the club kids. michael alig murdered his drug dealer in 1996 and is currently still in prison.

Get the Kimsomnia mug.Okay, we have all heard of the town Ladera Ranch. We’ve heard about the moms and the dads and the teens. We’ve not heard much about the children.
These children are little pests. They think if they say “Ur Hair is NOT on fleek!” That you will cry your eyes out. They are definitely showing that they were born after 2006.
“Follow me on Musically!” “Omg did you see what she posted on Musically?!” That is their LIFE. MUSICALLY IS WHAT THEY ALL DO.
They act as if they are all teens. EVEN THE KINDERGARTENERS. I have experience with one of those sassy kids. They are loud and obnoxious and honestly someone needs to pop this bubble that is surrounding them or I will call Kristen Bell to call them basic and she can pop their bubbles. Gosh

Get the ladera Kids mug.Your average lane stoner, usually is seen at Clark anytime from before 1st period to 7 pm, wears hoodies and always has a chrome bag with paint markers or spray paint in it, has beat up and tagged shoes and is usually saying things like “oh tru” or “do u need loud”, or “lemme chief a hit off that” music is always playing, usually goes to lane tech but schools like Lincoln park count too. On there stories you usually see videos of them ghosting blunts while lip syncing music. Sometimes they box or fight at Clark park but are usually too fucked up to care. If you go near clark with food, it will definitely get fiended and will be gone within 1 minute. These Stoners range anywhere to having no clout or a lot. Overall, Clark kids are pretty chill people to be around.
