    “Heroin chic” has been a thing for decades, and before that people tried to look consumptive.

    Nothing new under the sun.

    There were probably emo kids in Egypt who carried asps after Cleopatra killed herself.

      Sure, but there’s a difference between trying to look strung out for a fashion statement, and literally trying to get AIDS because it’s your kink.
