Johnny Depp is my source of inspiration when it comes to grunge style for men.

Kinderwhore Grunge

Kinderwhore??Yes, kinder as in kindergarten and whore as in WHORE, umm okay, personally, I think kinderwhore is just the derivative of grunge style. It is like the continuation of grunge as this look is more obvious after grunge era, the mid to late 90's. I don't quite get who has made this look popular but i believe in one way or another Courtney Love is one musician who made this look quite popular in her era. In the urban dictionary, kinderwhore is;

                        "A fashion trend in the early nineties which was probabaly indirectly influenced by japanese kawaii, and popularised by courtney love, where a girl mid teens - any age really puts on torn babydoll dresses, cigarette burned tights and biig boots......grungey with a little girl/whore type thing. smudgey eyes and messed up hair.. like you fucked all night and rolled out bed the next morning. niiice."

Courtney oh Courtney

Kinderwhore style is like a twist in a childish look. Like matching babydoll dresses with ripped stocking and red smeared lipstick and heavy eyeliner or using ribbon or hairclips with your hair messy and old military boots with your childish mini dresses. I personally think that kinderwhore is like grung for women (haha), that's why I include this look in my thorough research. Let's see some kinderwhore style!




Messy hair like this is highly acceptable, add ribbon





Now you know,

GRUNGE!

Soo guyss what is grunge?For those of you who is still unfamiliar with this word may thought that this is just a fashion terms I heard somewhere..... TRUE! It is actually better known as a music genre long before the fashion term kicks in. Grunge's history began in the late 80's with the rise in Seattle based band like Nirvana (with the handsome Kurt Cobain as the lead singer and guitarist), Soundgarden, Mother love Bones, Screaming Tees and many more. Eventually, grunge was used to describe the carefree, murky style with the usage of flanel shirt, torn, faded and baggy jeans, ratty T-shirts and old boots (Dr. Marten's boots is still acceptable. 
this is Kurt Cobain's hairstyle



From these pictures, I hope you can get the grunge look. The point of this style is to stay away from the fashionable up to date "fashion world". So in short, grunge style is formed by the rebellion against this "fashion world". In grunge style, the older and the rattier, the better. You can use torn shirts or even old military boots bought from second hand shop.  You can also use checkered pajamas to be worn during daytime. Messy, bedhead and unkempt hair will give you the complete look. Create many layers with this style like layers of shirt covered with another big flannel shirt is suitable.
