- Heavy metal and Satan played a role in the introduction of the explicit lyrics sticker.

The explicit lyrics sticker is one of the most recognizable images in American music. Its placement on an album cover signifies you’re going to hear something for adult ears only, and it’s an image we often take for granted. The story behind how we got that sticker is bonkers, to say the least.
The very public discussion around the advisory label involved the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC), a group led by the wives of Washington politicians and a few musicians including Frank Zappa, Dee Snider, and John Denver.
While the PMRC’s involvement was allegedly sparked by some raunchy lyrics from Prince’s 1984 album Purple Rain, the debate over rock lyrics had been infiltrating American culture and politics for a decade. The driving force behind that debate was the rise of heavy metal, a genre that saw explosive popularity with the launch of MTV in 1981, and the growing influence of the religious right, who saw rock music as a powerful threat to Christianity.

Well that's great but when are you going to do an episode that actually showcases metal music?
GREAT DOC! I'm old enough to recall *all* this BS · in that it was a transparent substitute for active & thoughtful parenting.
@@CJCCBoi America's gun stuff aside (I'm Canadian & after 17 yrs in NY, I'm back to igloo·ville😜), one of my HS friends was fatally shot (we were all about 14·17 (I'm 45 now); & at least four close friends that I recall (unfortunately, quite a few of our friends died young💔) who killed themselves with their parents' guns.
Just saying · not an argument.

How could i go about making portuguese subs for this?
"I bought the Purple Rain album for our eleven year old." ..Sounds like a personal problem.
Yeah but its too difficult to accept responsibility, so they turn to the law.
Oblivious mom: I bought my 6 yo kid GTA. I didnt know it was so violent. Its their fault.
Diffent time same people
"Heavy metal music is destroying our youth!! Here little timmy, listen to this megadeth album."
@@KikomochiMendoza - People even tried to get GTA banned after the MA label was put on it and the packaging said that there was violence, sexuality, etc.
She failed as a parent, but wanted to punish others to pay the price for it.
“I bought purple rain for my 9 year old” and that’s prince’s fault how???
lol exactly, she should've just done her research, could've just asked the person selling it who Prince is....
@@viper0111 bro they should've just googled it
@@enbymina Google wasn't a thing until 1998 (year it was founded) 😂
It’s his fault for not saying it’s for adults even tough it was used in an R Rated movie and the lyrics where printed on the back.
One of the Karen ancestors
Domestic violence and child molestation was a HUGE portion of those teen suicides. It's so much easier to scapegoat music than have a surviving parent admit what they were doing to their children.
One message:Put more money into a pair of high quality headphones and ignore what people say
Yeah they played the moral high ground and blame "satanic music" than admit they were the real evil
Just like conspiracy theorists today. Theyd rather believe its an evil govt or hollywood sponsored cabal trying to damage their children instead of looking in the mirror. How is voting for people who continue to defund healthcare, education, social workers, and cps going to save the children?
When I was kid in the 90's, the sticker meant "This album is probably good".
Exactly! There was even discussion amongst indie labels here in Australia to see if it should be added to certain local content as the "tick of approval" for a decent album.
I listen to this music on the internet and normally when I don’t get my anger out with it because of difficulties in my life I become more violent
Yup! Anyone born in the 1970s and 1980s can totally relate to this! 🤣🤣🤣
Ikr! Right now, the Parental Advisory sticker meant the same thing for me
Good albums, come with a parental advisory sticker
Isn't it funny how this Parental Advisory sticker is a graphic design aesthetic now?
Yeah lol. It's like a badge.
Parental Advisory label was designed by Luke Skyywalker of the rap band 2 Live Crew and put on their record 'Banned in the USA'
@@scottkerr11actually, the label was introduced by the RIAA, however, 2 Live Crew did use the label first out of any artist.
What I find hilarious, is that Frank Zappa (one of the artists in the PMRC hearings, released an album shortly after the hearings, and slapped the label on it. But the album was strictly instrumental, no lyrics at all! Just another way that demonstrates Zappa was a genius.
PMRC had good designers indeed.
I was thinking the exact same thing

Its funny how parents are so quick to blame everyone and everything, besides themselves
because parents can’t talk blame for them doing wrong. no parents wants too admit that they’re a bad parent in anyway. or have had a bad parenting moment.
hmm sounds like they lack personal responsibility and acountability
@@tone618 welp welcome to America
@@tone618 They're probably afraid that if they tried, the kids themselves might respond, "YOU'RE BEING MEAN!!"
Honestly, isn’t it kind of weird that so many peoples parents are similar?
There was also the Emo panic, fearing that their teen children that have been listening to punk rock and have been getting their children to be "More emotional"
So When My Chemical Romance was receiving backlash and hate because of their music, irrational fears from parents, and outright hatred from those who simply didn't understand punk rock,
you know what their response was?
Look up the lyrics to "Thank You For The Venom"
Now is the Conservative panic
1985:Parents want rock music gone
2019:Parents want it back
Coz, those parents are the kids who listen back in 85
You gotta go back further than 2019

Do these people who see teenagers jumping and screaming during concerts have never been to a concert? What are you supposed to do at a concert then? Sit in silence?
That's their mentality. And it is to my dismay that there is a substantial portion of today's youth that have this weird undue nostalgia for the 1950s. These are the kids who line up to fill auditoriums and see Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peterson. This is why people are so divided and hyper polarized, people no longer gather for the mutual enjoyment of rocking out at a concert. They instead prefer to watch bigoted nerds revise history and misinterpret events in order to inculcate them into Conservative politics. I prescribe a return of the underground rave and for the music industry to return to where Grunge left off, or De La Soul, depending on your musical preference. .
@@donkeyshow8543 aren't liberals the same way? I don't know anything about liberals so, can you explain? Also, yes. You are correct. I learned in speech class that polarization is a very dangerous thing because it can lead to violence. There is nothing wrong with seeing different perspectives, but to see different perspectives and then to accuse someone of not seeing your perspective is crazy.
.......
i mean.....
that's what you do in classical concerts......
Yes... And praise jesus lol
@@donkeyshow8543 Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson are not even relevant... Just because you don't agree with them doesn't mean they're grumpy old people. You're just too naive and instead of thinking about what they say you dismiss it. Like how racist cops dismiss reasoning.
"I bought an explicit rock album for my 11 year old daughter and I think it was inappropriate for her and I blame someone the albums creator"
Nothing new under the sun. Personal responsibility? Not buying something you don't like? Naaaah... it's the land of the free so... BLAME the world and PREVENT anyone from making their own choices
America at its finest lol. Sometimes I have the feeling The Simpsions are actually a reality show.
I would've blamed myself for buying that album in the first place.

“I bought the Purple Rain album for my 11 year old”
Hold on, I- really? She blamed prince for an album she purchased for her child without even looking at the subject matter. Logic is lost on tipper gore I see.
"Any parent has the right to decide what their children are going to see."
Probably when a child is 4-13, but after that a child is going to see who he really is
As long as you ain't old enough to legally drink a beer your parents should decide wether you listen to songs that praise drugs, promiscuity and ritaul killings
I feel like this is the equivalent of the parents that got mad because they took their kids to see Deadpool.
Or parents who took their kids to see Sausage Party.

kid: happy, screaming, crying, dancing
parents: look at him.. possessed smh
I kinda have to agree with the parents. A kid who is happy, and screams while crying and dancing at the same time is not normal since many of these acts possess emotions that do not correlate with one another.

I am all for the existence of the Parental Advisory sticker as a means to let people more easily know if the album is suitable for younger children or people who are more sensitive to certain lyrical content but i do not think the music should have been pulled from stores.
By all means have ratings, warnings, age stickers on albums/movies/tv shows/video games to let people know that there are elements of that product hat are not suitable for some people but do not force the artists to self censor
They don't work
It’s hilarious that John Denver had to defend rock when I know overseas some people think Take Me Home Country Roads is America’s National Anthem.
Okay, but why is John Denver defending rock? Isn't he a pop/country artist? I know for a fact that nobody who actually listens to rock or metal would ever consider John Denver a rock musician lol
@@mdnblues Funnily enough, John Denver was invited to the hearings under the expectation he would support the PMRCs plans, but ended up speaking out against it

As a young heavy metal fan living in Argentina in the 90s, we (or our parents) really never paid atention to this sticker or thought maybe it was something common to all albums haha

Thats what I call..."my parents"
*American be like*
And yet every new generation is more depressed than the previus ones despite the "freedoms"
Thank god I was lucky enough to have parents that were rebellious in their younger years. It is my opinion that the rebelliousness actually made them better parents to myself and my brother.
Plus they gave me a good taste in music.

I'm Christian and I think these claims are hilarious!😂😂😂
ah yes, the wonderful ability of the human brain to recognise patterns everywhere, even where there aren't any...
I wonder tho, did anyone reverse records of other kinds of music to check for satanic messages? Would be interesting to know how many are in, let's say, christian music...
Some Christians, very very very small percent of them at that
Weird Al Yankovic actually has a satanic message if you play one of his albums backwards. LOL
The lyrics itself is a satanic message, read them.
Fun fact: in Brazil the parental advisory sticker comes in some American records released here (even in CDs) and in some it doesn't come, but here it has no legal impact, it's more like an aesthetic detail on the front cover because we don't speak English and people doesn't care that much about what's being said
Metal fan here, I personally really got into metal during the same time I got bullied in school, it helped me let out my frustration in a non-violent way and made me feel at least a little bit powerful. Now I mostly listen to it because I like the way it sounds

Up till today I thought the sticker was an optional thing and mainly a marketing sceme to tell others that this album is gonna be good.
YES and My Mom doesn't even cared because she can understand English that good..
@MsYogaGrrrl inherently, you're right. But if there is no sticker, it's safe to assume the musicians censor themselves and limit their lyrical ability.

history repeats itself in music. for example:

1960s: “Elvis Presley and The Beatles are brainwashing our kids! Why can’t they listen to the great music of our time (1930s-1940s)?
1980s: “This rock music is satanic! It’s killing our kids! What happened to The Beatles and Elvis Presley?”
1990s-2010s: “Today’s music is hot garbage. Why can’t kids listen to the great music of the 70s-80s?”
Why can’t we just enjoy music?

Keeping your child away from music like this will make them more interested to find out why is like this. That's how I fallen in love with this genre as a millennial.
Music is music. It is a form of expression. We are quite fortunate to have that.

@ben the last oh this is basically what the original comment was trying to say.
@ben the last the hypocrisy of the "boomers" on music.
@ben the last I see what you are trying to say, but to me the fact the things they call out rap for having also appear in there music, is hypocritical.
Correction: The boomers were the one jamming to rock and metal at the time, and their parents were the one that hated it.
When John Denver defends heavy metal...you’ve lost.
Country Roads to the government
Yeah it made me chuckle to see that little country boy in there with Snider. Though Denver in his time got a lot of criticism for being more “fruity” and flashy than other country artists, and his music leans more hippie than other country music (ironic now that his music is considered classic country). I dig both Denver and Twisted Sister so I think it’s cool.
PMRC wasn't just about heavy metal.. They targeted everyone with "explicit lyrics"..
The same man who made the Ballad of Richard Nixon.
@Anne TheReader If you look it up it was a song released by him that had no musical notes and was just very faint static. Masterpiece.
It was parents avoiding all responsibility and expecting people in enthertainment to raise their children instead of them.

17:32 Nowadays, heavy metal musicians have to be aware of the target demographic and whether they have to write a kid-friendly song or not.

This mentality can also be seen in our legal drinking age, it entices young teens because they know they shouldn't, consequently we have alcohol abuse problems in teens and young adults, problems which European countries such as Germany (where you can drink beer and wine as young as 13) are seldom in comparison
I love how the parental advisory stickers were like street cred for a band to any 14 year old back in the day. Those stickers told you which albums to buy.
Politicians shouldn’t be judging people for “lack of morals”
History is repeating itself again, the whole thing in the past with “music is causing violence in America.” is the same thing with “video games are causing violence in America.” Why not blame yourself America?
Yeah and in 30 years there will be a new thing to cry about, its just history reapting itself, over and over.
rozey peyton oh, well said. Thank you.
They got scared of rock, then rap especially eminem, than video games,
I wonder how many of the people sounding the moral panic alarm realize that the rate of violent crime in America has been steadily decreasing for at least the past thirty years and is barely half of what it was in 1990.
Because we don’t like acknowledging mental health
These Karen’s would be fuming at the rap genre right now.
They are!
They were after Hip Hop/Rap back then too. N.W.A. and 2 Live crew for example
@Arumillo ಠ_ಠ lolk
who said they weren't?
Andres Yáñez No dude these people are dead now
Guy @2:59 has more common sense then the entire film crew or anyone in it 😂
Imagine if they heard WAP😂😂😂💀
Isn't that already what happened when the Ben Shapiro types heard it?
@@jwanbesande2734 yes
Weaponized Armored Penguins
I think ben shabibo still complains about that on every episode of his podcast
I’m sure Tipper Gore has lots of thoughts about WAP. 😂
the mother who bought the album for her daughters was a hilarious story
If she hated it then why did she buy it
Typical Karen never take blame for their mistakes no blame others 🙄
That means she didn't even listened to them songs first but blame it on the artist. Did she expect every artist's songs to be a nursery rhyme lol
That mother is Tipper Gore, Al Gores ex wife. As an older mellenial I remember she went after any type of media that scared her sheltered christian world view in the 80's and 90's. She basically hijacked her husband's political power for her religious crusades against music, TV, movies and video games. She's one of the biggest reasons why a lot of people voted Bush over Gore in '00, after seeing what she tried to do before and while she was the 2nd lady.
Gore once made a joke that after their divorce he finally watched Terminator 2(or it was another classic) and really liked it. They got divorced in 2010.
@@jcountry05 that's what I was thinking!
Of course in order to mark albums as explicit they just HAD to come up with the HARDEST logo ever!
deadass it makes the album cover _cooler_ if anything (at least in the late 90s to 00s when i used to buy them...)
politicians getting mad about others morals, like they have any

Tony Robbins says the same thing. And made swearing into a skill for reaching people or getting their attention.
The only thing the Parental Advisory sticker does is ruin good album art

you can make it part of the cover
If you made that sticker the whole album cover I bet it would sell more
I wanted to buy the shirt that had that sticker.
Just like trash trademarks that were supposed to help them keep the copy right of a picture or something!
This video was so well'made, and I love to see Metal in the mainstream
This video was very well done. Very entertaining and informative
Annnnd, the "Explicit Sticker" that was put onto albums just made the sales skyrocket. Nothing makes a 14-year-old boy want to buy a record more than already knowing it is somewhat controversial.
Just like M rating on video games
I remember and taped a segment on Dateline saying how GTA 3 made kids and teens violent...it only made more want to play it.. Including me, yet I never have thrown a fist or killed anyone..
@@leepinlepin _doubt that_
@@thatsonyou6093 What, you think he gets into fights? Have you never played GTA? Cause you should
one question how can you doubt somebodys subjective expirence with no capability to expirence said subjective expirence
it's unvarifiable either way so your comment is completely useless and a logical fallacy.
I would suspect your throwing doubt onto testimony to subcouncously defend a video games bad view.
if 6ix 9ine where alive back then, he would be burnt alive.

In the south he would be burnt on the stake

*I* bought an album to *my* children, that *I* and solely *I* am responsible for, not the artist that made the album. *I* didn't listen to the songs, and *I* didn't do any research on it, therefore, the most logical solution is to sue the artist.
Funny to see how this still happens nowadays, with lil nas x, for example. When will people gonna learn that they are the ones responsible for raising their kids?.
The NAOK (National Association of Karens) wants to know your location.
I'm at Judy's tupperware anniversary. Can you bring the chicken soup and bibles?

And I oop
The council of Karens will decide your fate
It wasn't just rock music. They were equally ridiculous in their racism and persecution of hip-hop artists, namely N.W.A. and 2 Live Crew.
Dusty Hills The controversy around rock also actually started with racist parents in the 40s and 50s not wanting their kids to listen to pioneering black rock artists - a.k.a. “Race music”.
I listen to rock music. But if the lyrics does not fit my taste for a good one, I simply dump it.
they started around the late 80's tho
Dusty Hills The term “rock-and-roll” was originally a race thing, I think.
Yep
Parental advisory albums are the ones I wanted to get the most. People haven't seemed to figure out the more you tell the youth they can't have something the more they want it.
I doubt there’s anything wrong with that. Age restriction is needed
Now, they are blaming the video games for inducing violence.
At first I thought the "Parental Advisory" sticker was just there as an aesthetic
Same
It almost always is
yeah, ikr.. clean albums without the parental advisory sticker just doesn't look right.
Same

"Some are even admitted homossexuals"
that says everything for me about radicalized evangelists
Why only evangelists?
Back in the 80s that was a perfectly socially acceptable statement though
The problem with so many "evangelists" is that they are so intolerant of everyone that's not like them. I myself am a Southern Baptist, but I come from a relatively diverse church with Korean, Vietnamese, and Spanish services and a pastor from Ghana. I've been a devout Christian ever since I was old enough to understand the idea of going to heaven, and it's depressing to see so many of my fellow Christians have such shallow, artificial faith; for example, all these Southern Baptists turning out in 2016 to vote for a candidate who ran a fear- and hatemongering campaign. A plant is identified by its fruit, and these "evangelists" aren't evangelizing, they're turning people away.
@@anactualotter6216 fair enough , the problem are the people that carry this to today0
@@brunopeixe7949 For sure. I was so in the closet with my family that I was in the attic because some of them have a similar attitude
Hearing that this boy took his life while listening to AC/DC really made me cry.. guys pls watch out for you fellow metalheads, rockers, rappers and whatever you like best. These are the people that know best what you are going through. You are not alone!

"I wanna hold your hand!"
OMG, WHY IS THERE SO MUCH FILTH ON THE RADIO!
You know who had hands?!?! The DEVIL
lol
I mean that was a step down from Please Please Me...
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Louis Louis, Sympathy for the Devil. All songs that are controversial and was made during Tipper Gore’s youth
Is hand holding lewd or what?
