23 Years Of The Pmrc

Post by dmegametal#1 »

23 years ago, the PMRC inforced the sticker on every lp/cassette/cd that was deemed offensive which made metal/hair bands sell records back in the mid 80's and onwards..has it REALLY made a huge impact on selling records NOW??

I think, if anything, the stickers made kids want to buy them more because they were deemed innappropriate. Stickers wouldn't make a difference. If parents don't buy the CDs for their kids based on a sticker then the kids nowadays can just download the albums they want without their parents' knowledge.

There was a telly-movie based on the whole PMRC story with Jason Preistly and Dee Snider. It was quite interesting. I forget what it's called.

I can't beleive that it has been that long ago already. I remember handing out flyiers for people to go to a rally to fight againg Tipper Gore and her campaign. I agree with Doin, the stickers just make the kids want the albums more!
