I believe the answer is:

techno

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'nightclubs?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'chet wasted supported by backing tracks' is the wordplay.
'wasted' is an anagram indicator.
'supported by' becomes 'on' (something on something else is supported by it).
'backing' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'tracks' means one lot of letters go next to another (some letters track or go after others).
'on' backwards is 'no'.
'chet' with letters rearranged gives 'tech'.
'tech'+'no'='TECHNO'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for techno that I've seen before include "Style of electronic dance music" , "type of music" , "loud music" , "Form of electronic dance music" , "musical style" .)
