Republicans And Democrats Against Grunge: Parents Music Resource Centre (PMRC)

''Why do you keep saying we're conservative?...My husband and I are liberal Democrats!''- Tipper Gore

Danny Goldberg recalls Tipper Gore being agitated, asking ‘’why do you keep saying we're conservative?...My husband and I are liberal Democrats’’ (Goldberg, 2005,p.146). Just like Republicans and Democrats had agreed on globalisation, both now agreed on censorship for artists. ‘’It became obvious that Tipper Gore loved being on TV as much as I did. She linked rock with propaganda that had come from right wing Christians like the reverend Jeff Ling’’ (Goldberg, 2005, p.155). Goldberg argues that PMRC seemed to attempt at the height of Reagan's popularity ‘’to repress popular culture, a culture that reflected an America very differently from the one that ruled in Washington’’ (Goldberg, 2005, pp.131-132). Famously, Frank Zappa called PMRC ‘’a group of bored housewives’’ who wanted to ‘’housebreak all composers and performers because of the lyrics of a few’’ (Goldberg, 2005,p.133). The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) denied the rating system advertised by Gore yet settled on the Parental advisory sticker.
