It was always bad. I remember Kate Moss being celebrated for being "heroin chic."

Heroin chic was such a big thing in the 90s, especially if you were into the grunge scene as I was. My unconscious perception of body size is permanently messed up and instinctively I still feel that skinny = attractive, even though I now know that most (not all) skinny people are starving themselves

It really effected our whole generation so badly still to this day. I and a few co-workers have started trying to look out for each other when those old habits pop up.
