Talk:Kinderwhore

message: Does this obscure neologism really deserve a Wikipedia page? I was a fan of L7 and Babes in Toyland (and to a lesser extend Hole) in the late 90s, and I'm familiar with typical punk purist vs. punk unitarian debates about whether or not any of those bands counted as Riot Grrrl or not, but today is first time I've ever come across the term "kinderwhore". I'm not a deletionist, but I do think this article is still a stub, and needs a lot more work to establish why the topic is notable enough to have its own page. It sounds like a phrase coined by alt-right attack trolls to disparage stroppy female musicians who don't conform to the unwritten rules of pop glamour looks. That said, a quick web search didn't turn up any women objecting to the use of the term. I did find an article by Mish Way of White Lung, who attributes its origin to "Melody Maker journalist Everett True" (http://i-d.vice.com/en_us/article/my-kinderwhore-education), and she seems to embrace "kinderwhore" identity in the same way that homosexuals have embraced "queer" identity, so maybe more references that support this might help to establish notability? --Danylstrype (talk) 06:57, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Hmmm, Shonen Knife's first album was in 1983...and their look has pretty much been the same since the beginning, I think?  It seems hard to credit these people with their look.  Also, Babes in Toyland recorded one of the songs on the Shonen Knife tribute album (see the Shonen Knife article for details), so it seems likely the influence was mostly the other direction.  I'm deleting that sentence.  --Skalchemist 14:03, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I´m curious to the origin of the name kinderwhore.
A whore child would be in dutch kinderhoer, where kinder stands for child.
The kinder in this has been picked up from things like kindergarden and kinder surprise. Its not a direct reference to the dutch. Bride of lister 09:11, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The German "kindergarten" is also used in English but now other terms e.g. nursery education are more usual. Would  a link to child prostitute (i.e. a child who is also a prostitute) be useful?--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 11:54, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origin of the name 

message: The Slits are precursors of Hole&Babes in Toyland musically, in attitude and image. Looking at photo's from the early 80's, especially , for instance the photo  you see all the characteristics of the Kinderwhore-look (the combination of innocence with provocative sexuality). Is this far-fetched, or could we add this to the article?
Btw, I think derivation from Kindergarten likely; in form it may well be Dutch (kinderliedje=children's song), but it seems an American term and Kindergarten is a known term there, in contrast to Dutch compound words. It would be interesting to track its first use in the press.

message: Should you really be using a compound word that uses the word being defined as a key for pronouncation?  Saying "kinder is pronounced like kinder" isn't exactly helpful, which is what the comparison to "kindergarten" is essentially doing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.246.234.24 (talk) 06:12, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
