As I was finishing high school in the late 1970s, the Sex Pistols had come on to the scene (punk rock) and they were banned all across America. You couldn't even hear them on the radio. I had no idea what their music sounded like but I knew I had to find a copy of their album. I finally got a bootleg copy of "Never Mind the Bullocks", on 8-track if you can believe, and when I finally heard the music with a couple of my friends, we all agreed that it sucked rather badly and went back to our Pink Floyd and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Some here might remember the Tipper Gore "labeling" of pop music. (What is it about the Gore family that makes them want to control our lives?). She convinced the record companies to put stickers on the albums that had offensive lyrical content. As if mothers shopped for music to take home to their boys at home, like it was groceries!
Well that went over almost as well as global warming. Sales of the stickered albums rocketed as the kids would seek them out. If two versions of the album was offered, the kids went to the sticker version all the time. It got to the point where record companies would order their artists to put a few lewd lyrics into one or two of their songs so that they could "earn" the coveted sticker and generate more sales.
Oh I get your not a fan.
