People who practice or believe in decadence; members of the Decadent artistic movement, or those in moral or cultural decline.
From Latin 'decadens' (falling away) + plural '-s'. This noun names individuals who embody decadence, whether as artists, philosophers, or simply people living excessively.
The Decadents were real people—Oscar Wilde, Aubrey Beardsley, and other late-Victorian artists who deliberately cultivated scandal and extravagance as part of their artistic identity, making 'decadent' a badge of honor rather than shame.
