* The infamous PARENTAL ADVISORY label was the controversial brainchild of Tipper Gore, whose moral crusade against rock and roll earned the ire of both musicians and their fans. [[Frank Zappa]], Dee Snider of [[Twisted Sister]] and [[John Denver]] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0Vyr1TylTE explained] during a Senate hearing that the stickers amounted to censorship, though the label actually served more ''in favour of the artists themselves'', as musicians and recordings deemed controversial saw a spike in their record sales. By the time that R&B, gangsta rap and hardcore rock took off in the 90s, the Parental Advisory label became more of a [[Rated "M" for Money|selling point]] to indicate that the artist is presenting themselves to be as edgy as they can be.
* A sticker on the cover of some [[Guns N' Roses]] albums reads "This album contains language which some listeners may find objectionable. They can F?!* OFF and buy something from the New Age section."
* [[Liquid Tension Experiment|CAUTION: "Three Minute Warning" is not for the musically faint-hearted, impatient, or critics of extreme self-indulgence. If you fall into any of the above categories, please hit the stop button on your CD player after track #8.]]

{{quote|"The CD/LP you are about to listen to contains parodies that feature foul language, adult content, satanic imagery and depictions of sexually deviant fantasies that may offend the religious right, the unreligious left, fat girls, skinny girls, metrosexuals, animal lovers, animal haters, hippies, skinheads, the current presidential administration and people with ears. The record label and its parent companies do not endorse or support the opinions of Steel Panther. They just think they f--king rock."}}
* [[Iggy Pop]]'s ''American Caesar'' bears the sticker "Parental Advisory: THIS IS AN IGGY POP RECORD."
* [[Michael Jackson]] expressed regret over making the song "Thriller" due to its supernatural and occult themes, as he was at the time a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses and such imagery is [[Against My Religion|contrary to his beliefs]]–he was quoted by the JW periodical ''Awake!'' as saying "I would never do it again!"; he intended to do a fun short film to promote the song, but balked shortly after its release as he did not want to offend or scare people. Jehovah's Witness elders took umbrage at what was perceived as promoting [[Hollywood Satanism|demonology]] and threatened excommunication against Jackson. In a panic, which nearly got to the point of having the film's negatives destroyed, a compromise was eventually settled with a ghostwritten disclaimer by John Landis was added at the beginning disassociating Jackson and his religious beliefs with the film's occult themes, stating "Due to my strong personal convictions, I wish to stress that this film in no way endorses a belief in the occult."
