What is Parental Advisory?
1.
A censorship sticker, very much like the Seal of Approval that comic books were made to have well into the 70's. It warns parents of possible material that may be considered obcene without any specific details about what is objectionable.
Perpetrated by a censorship lobby consisting of upper middle class conservative white women, such as Tipper Gor, who felt it necessary to police the music industry for messages that were politically or socially inconsistent with their own. This label dampens sales which in turn hampers musical, lyrical, or artistically creativite material.
At its inception the parental advisory sticker targeted mainly such musicians as Frank Zappa but today the target is hip-hop and rappers along with video game creators
My mom didnt let me but the CD because it had a parental advisory sticker, which she said had it like that because it talked about raping women. But later when I listed to it it just was criticizing American and the LAPD.
