Parents Music Resource Center

The Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) is a group founded in 1985 by several influential women, including Tipper Gore, to address concerns about explicit content in music. They advocated for clear labeling of albums with objectionable lyrics, leading to the introduction of the "Parental Advisory" sticker on records. The PMRC aimed to inform parents about the content their children might consume and foster discussions about media responsibility. Their efforts sparked debates on censorship, artistic freedom, and the role of parents in monitoring their children's media exposure. The PMRC's influence continues to be felt in discussions about music content and parental control.
