From my recent experience, it typically skews pretty young (25 or younger) and mostly Brits and Europeans for the most part. So can be pretty party-centered, especially around island areas in Thailand etc.
But you can find quieter places everywhere - as others have said, best approach is to just do your research, read and compare reviews on multiple sites (hostelworld, agoda, google etc), they’ll usually give you a good idea of whether its going to be a non-stop party or not. I stayed in mostly women-only dorms wherever I could over mixed dorms, that typically meant a quieter experience, but can’t say if it’d be the same in male only.
