Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Innocence Is Kinky” by Jenny Hval
“Innocence Is Kinky” by Jenny Hval is a reflection on the concept of innocence and how it’s often seen – as something vulnerable, naive, and in many cases, undesirable. The narrator speaks directly to a person telling them that innocence has its place and shouldn’t be judged. There is a subversive feel to the track, as the narrator suggests that innocence can be a source of power, strength and resilience, something to be embraced and celebrated rather than suppressed. The track speaks to an audience that is trying to figure out who they are within a world that so often looks down on those who stay true to themselves. Hval speaks to the listener that despite society’s judgement, that their self-expression should be embraced with joy and a sense of self-acceptance.
