I can think of nothing that would have carried greater "buy" appeal for me as a young teen than a label promising "explicit lyrics" attached to a piece of music. (That was long ago, pre-dating Ms Gore's censorship campaign by at least 2 decades.)

While I am not a Tipper and PMRC fan, they did occasionally go after something that probably deserved to be censored. The reading of the Mentors' "Golden Shower" lyrics on the Senate floor certainly probably qualified.

I'm kidding but the point of the Mentors was to be offensive.
