The music industry at the time was cracking under the weight of its own excess. Songs like Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It," which discouraged blind obedience to authority, or Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher," which advocated having sexual feelings during adolescence, exemplified the filth of the era. Thanks to the PMRC, parents too busy to spend fifteen minutes listening to their children's music because of more important things, like watching daytime television and complaining about immigrants, could know which songs were good and which were bad. Who needs their own opinions about what is or isn't age-appropriate when you've got the PMRC? The answer, obviously, is no one.
