A group which, led by Tipper Gore, attempted to take rock music and shove it's face in the dirt where it supposedly belonged. Rock music got up, however, and kindly told the PMRC that they could go get raped in the ass by a hippopotamus right before they delivered the kicked in the balls that was the testimonies of musicians such as Frank Zappa.
Stated by Frank Zappa at the PMRC hearings; “Senator Gore's wife talks about 'Bondage!' and 'oral sex at gunpoint' on the CBS nightly news!”

Get the PMRC mug.the PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center)was formed in 1985. Its four members consisted of the Tipper Gore, Susan Baker, Pam Howar, and Sally Nevius. All four women were wives of promonent husbands that worked in federal government. The women waged a jihad against popular music, especially rock music. They blamed rock music for rape, violence, drug abuse and teenage suicide. They held a Senate hearing in August 1985 to discuss and attempt to impliment censorship in music. The PMRC had many proffesors and phycatrists testify on their part. Opposing them was Dee Sinder (Twisted Sister) Frank Zappa and John Denver. Technically the PMRC suceeded by forcing production companies to put the ever common Parental Warning sticker on the cover of explicit albums.
THe PMRC claimed to be acting on behalf of the American People. In reality, the PMRC was just a bunch of Washington socialites that wanted something public to do. What they were attempting to do was against the 1st amendment and a charachteristic of a Socialist/Communist/Nazi government

Get the PMRC mug.Parents Music Resource Center.
Headed and started by Tipper Gore in 1985, when she heard her then 5 year old daughter listening to Prince´s "Darling Nikki" on the Purple Rain b-side.
The "most representative and most youth endangering" musicians were invited to Congress: Dee Snider (Twisted Sister, okay, they´d been rude back then), Frank Zappa (sang explicit lyrics too) and - lo and behold - John Denver who sang "Country Roads".
The whole thing turned into hysteria as more and more desperate housewives attended the movement and even started to cencore songbooks in kindergardens.
The final decision was to mark youth endangering records with the following stickers:
A = music that promoted alcohol abuse
S = satanic lyrics
V = music that supports violence lyrically
Later on they used that comprehensive sticker "Parental Advisory - Explicit Lyrics".
