INXS’s song “Beautiful Girl,” released in 1992, was indeed connected to the topic of eating disorders and body image issues. Andrew Farriss, the band’s keyboardist and primary songwriter, wrote the song with his daughter in mind. The lyrics emphasize the natural beauty of women and address the pressures they face to conform to societal beauty standards, which can sometimes lead to eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia.
The music video for “Beautiful Girl” further highlights these themes, showing images of women and girls and juxtaposing scenes of natural beauty with those depicting the pressures to maintain a certain appearance. The song and video were intended to raise awareness about the harmful effects of societal pressures on body image and to promote self-acceptance and inner beauty.

“Thinspiration” is a controversial term often associated with the pro-anorexia (pro-ana) and pro-bulimia (pro-mia) communities. These communities promote extreme thinness as an ideal and often encourage harmful behaviors associated with eating disorders.
