One of the oldest, and the most infamous, pro-censorship groups.
Founded originally by Tipper Gore and Susan Baker. Promotes the
idea that modern popular music is harmful to people and seeks to
ban it. Largely responsible for the "Parental Guidance:
Explicit Lyrics" stickers (known far and wide as "Tipper
Stickers"); has promoted laws in states making it a felony
to sell stickered albums to people under 18. Barbara Wyatt has
revitalized the organization. In the past,the PMRC has worked
with or promoted some theocratic groups and "deprogramming"/brainwashing
centers such as Back In Control Training Centers.
