I think this is about the experience of dating and relationships, specifically when we enter "the scene" of them.
Dating is almost like this cool club, this thing we can't wait to do once we are old enough. We see it on tv and and it's so glamorous love With shows like Gossip Girl, The OC, Degrassi (can't think of anymore current ones), we have this culture of young adults dating being so cool, we covet it. But, the reality of dating and relationships is not as easy; heartbreak doesn't have a cool montage. In this way, it's like a gang. We want to be in so bad, but then once we're in we realize all the cons, and all the ways we can get hurt.
I think that the title "The Love Club" is an allusion to the film "Fight Club". She compares love and relationships, in some ways, to a fight club where we sometimes let ourselves get beat up and hurt to stay in the club we wanted so badly to be in. The music video shows people throwing punches and play fighting with the air.
Perhaps, too, not just dating is to be considered as part of this "Love Club". The lyrics talk a lot about friendships,
"There are fights for being my best friend
And the girls get their claws out
There's something about hanging out with the wicked kids
Take the pill make it too ill
The other day I forgot my old address
I'm sitting pretty on the throne
There's nothing more I want
Except to be alone"
Reminds me a lot of the fast paced gossipy backstabbing friendships we see in the shows I mentioned above. I think this type of relationship also ought to be considered a part of the "Love/Fight Club".
