Since its introduction, the effectiveness of the Parental Advisory label has frequently been called into question. Jon Wiederhorn from "MTV News" suggested that artists benefited from the label and noted that younger customers interested in explicit content could more easily find it with a label attached. On behalf of "Westword", Andy Thomas said that the label was purposeless on the grounds that a young customer "would get a copy of the album sooner or later from a friend or another lethargic record store clerk" like the cashier that sold him a labeled pressing of "" (1992) by White Zombie in his childhood. He noted that its intended reaction in parents was varied; his lax mother was indifferent towards the warning, while the stricter mother of his companion did not allow her child to listen to the record.
