Parental Advisory

Explicit content in the music industry consists of themes of drugs, sex, and violence with the use of profanities. 

On CDs with explicit content in the form of song lyrics, the parental advisory logo will be placed on the front of the CD which stops under 18s from buying the album. However, this logo is not that effective as people do not always ask for ID and it is known that parents will willing buy it for their under age children anyway. Another method of gaining access to this CD is by buying online. 




Artists tend to release a 'clean' version of their album if the original is deemed explicit. This then allows the whole market to have the opportunity to buy the album. People who are over 18 may still not appreciate explicit content and therefore choose the edited version. 

The song we chose to do our music video to is called 'Your Song', this song holds no explicit content and it does not come from an album which is deemed explicit; therefore we won't have to worry about putting this on our digipak.
