Courtney Love gave visibility to this often-ignored part of the femme psyche and placed it into pop culture.
I have a funny memory of being 14 in an Express Peter Pan collar dress, standing on my Sailor Moon bedset, screeching weird poetry. Sure, I had been inspired before during my elementary school Robin Hood peasant blouses and archery phase, begging my mum for Celtic jewelry at the Renfaire. Feeling very profound in my newfound angst when my middle school wiles kicked in, the world suddenly felt less whimsical.
In retrospect,"kinderwhore" was a strange trend to be into as a virginal teen. As the glamorized girl demon of the self-destructive grunge artist, kinderwhore mixed the dark side of womanhood and the complex personas a young woman takes on, raw and disturbing as it was.
Musically, Courtney was influenced by a variety of sounds, even if Hole was easy to label"grunge." Hanging around the New Wave scene in the '80s and living in California around the legacy of LA punk is a huge part of Courtney’s history. Determined to make her own music, Hole’s first record, Pretty on the Inside, was produced by Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon, a raw art punk release.
