That’s an angle of attack to tread carefully down. Recall the stupidity of Tipper Gore and the Patents Music Resource Center. (Recall too Frank Zappa in the hearings). The end result of that was the “parental advisory sticker “ on albums [i.e. “hey kids, buy this! It’s cool because adults don’t want you to hear it!”]

There was a lot of fringe vulgar music that would have remained in obscurity had not it been bannered with the “forbidden fruit” sticker.

I agree totally about forbidden fruit, especially for teenagers, but - Who said anything about attack or censorship?

What I am saying is that parents need to be aware of what is coming/happening. Effective parents will have to tailor their responses to what will work best with their kids.
