The PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center)

The Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) was established in 1985 by a group of parents, including Tipper Gore, to address concerns about explicit content in popular music, particularly lyrics involving violence, drug use, and sexual themes. The organization advocated for music labeling to inform consumers about potentially inappropriate content for children. This led to the introduction of the "Parental Advisory" label on albums. The PMRC played a significant role in the debate over censorship, artistic freedom, and the responsibility of artists and record companies in relation to the content they produce and distribute.
