Snotsdale is a good description for parts of it, but it really depends on which part you go to. I tend to like the bars in Tempe and the clubs in Scottsdale. They just opened up a new bar called 'The Library' (no relation to the one that burned down in Glensdale) which is pretty groovy. Especially if you dig the librarian look. They also have a bar that opened up a few years ago that was supposedly had the bar built in Ireland, ripped apart, shipped here and reassembled. Nice place.
