A recent stock way to show that some characters have fallen into decadence is to show them being highly promiscuous and/or doing lots of drugs. Sometimes this can even lead to a character's downfall (if the protagonist), or outright death (if a villain or supporting character). The term is a common slang for what some politicians and Corrupt Corporate Executives like to have at parties. Wine, women, and song is an older, related term. Bonus Points are awarded if the cocaine is snorted off of the hooker's arse and / or breasts. Not to be confused with hookers who blow.

  • A recent stock way to show that some characters have fallen into decadence is to show them being highly promiscuous and/or doing lots of drugs. Sometimes this can even lead to a character's downfall (if the protagonist), or outright death (if a villain or supporting character). This became an especially popular thing in The Eighties, because other displays of excessive wealth were considered a good thing (even Fur and Loathing didn't signify decadence all the time). But with awareness of AIDS, and the message of Drugs Are Bad, this trope became a great way to show characters falling from grace. The term is a common slang for what some politicians and Corrupt Corporate Executives like to have at parties. Wine, women, and song is an older, related term. Bonus Points are awarded if the cocaine is snorted off of the hooker's arse and / or breasts. Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll is a Sub-Trope where this happens to rockers. A Binge Montage is a common way to portray a night like this. Compare A Party - Also Known as an Orgy, Trade Your Passion for Glory, Paid Harem. Not to be confused with hookers who blow.
