Well, a rise in strange and dark crimes across America led to a Satanic Panic — and politicians were looking for a scapegoat. Watch this mini documentary to learn more about the Satanic Panic of the 1980s, why everyone was so afraid of heavy metal, how musicians responded and the censorship of music that followed.

In the mid 1980’s, a war against heavy metal began. Music deals in metaphors, euphemisms, symbolism, and hyperbole. A lot of songs have dark, twisted, even evil lyrics, but the meaning in those lyrics are often intentionally vague. Where is the line between protecting children from harmful messages and outright censorship?

A committee called the Parents Music Resource Center, or PMRC, took a case to the United States Senate with hopes in censoring any record they dubbed “P*** Rock,” by stamping Parental Advisory labels on them. And so America watched as another debate over the interpretation of the 1st Amendment unfolded.

Watch to find out who really won in the end.
