Kinderwhore was an image used by a handful of American female punk rock bands in the early/mid 1990s. Likely a play on the name of the record label Kindercore. Though the independent East Coast label was not founded until 1996, use of the term in mainstream publication is not documented until 1998. Further references do not appear until 2000 and beyond . It is unlikely that the term was in wide use prior to 1996.
The kinderwhore look consisted of torn, ripped tight or low-cut babydoll dresses or nighties, heavy makeup, leather boots, and Mary-Jane shoes of various colors. Exactly who invented the kinderwhore image is up for debate, though it is widely accepted that Kat Bjelland of Babes in Toyland was the first to define it and Courtney Love of Hole was the first to popularize it. Christina Amphlett of Divinyls can clearly be seen sporting the image on the cover of her band's 1983 album ; Love declared that she took the style from Amphlett in an interview in the Los Angeles fanzine Ben Is Dead . Kinder means children in German and Yiddish and is pronounced with a short i as in kindergarten .References
