PMRC
noun: a group of hypocritical ass-faces who decided to black mark every album containing explicit photos, lyrics, or themes because they felt violence in children stemmed from music media. apparently they thought it was ok for jesus boner parents to force christian rock that preaches bible messages and one-way mindsets of life down their kids throats, while punk, metal, and rap were all deemed "bad" cuz they either say fuck, pussy, or anarchy in the lyrics. more to the point, these three music genres all encourage people to convey their own individuality and self-expressive capabilities. once again, these people are douchebags.acronym for the Parent Music Resource Center.PMRC
A group of a bunch of Nazi bitches from the U.S. Senate who at one point wanted to make metal music illegal.
With the help of Frank Zappa, Dee Snider, and John Denver the PMRC lost their battle and just got a sticker on records

PMRC
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.
Example:
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!”

PMRC
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.
Example:
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

PMRC

Parents Music Resource Center or for other people it's the Pushy Misanthropes Railing for Censorship. A bunch of fascist bitches who don't believe in the free expression of ideas. Stickering albums wasn't enough, founder Tipper Gore and her pestering friends tried to get ALL music that offended them banned. In the 90s many musical writers started to write more offensive music because the "Parental Advisory" sticker became a badge of honor. As a result, music offensive to the PMRC sold millions of units and scored high on the charts. The problem with all this is, people began to value "controversy" over artistic merit and the quality of popular music took a nose dive.
Example:
"We have a problem in America today. It's called censorship. We are the Ramones and we believe in the free expression of ideas and we have this to say tonight: FUCK THE PMRC!" Joey Ramone August 1990
1951 - 2001 R.I.P.

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".
