Heroin Chic?

Is heroin still chic? Or was heroin never chic to begin with? The movement seems so interesting to me; that the effects of such a destructive substance can be seen as a look to strive for.  Is the strung out "morning after" hair, dark eyes, and worn out clothing something to be sought after?  Should we be aspiring to look so disheveled?

Personally I find that there is great beauty in the art of "heroin chic."  The human eye is naturally drawn to those that seem so effortlessly stylish so its no wonder society can't seem to shake this addiction.  It's the type of glamour that accompanies the "live fast, die young" lifestyle that people can't get enough of.  We crave this edgy looks that gives off a "no apologies, no consequences" vibe.

Kylie Jenner and her crew of "MSFTS" seem to have perfected and modernized this grunge, heroin chic look without the actual use of toxic drugs.
