It can also be used to describe something that's strange or absurd, like a kooky idea for a movie plot. In both cases, the word implies that whatever it is, it's not quite normal or mainstream.

It's worth noting that "kooky" can sometimes be used in a playful or affectionate way, so if someone calls you kooky, they might mean it as a compliment!
