It started with a song. The song was Prince’s “Darling Nikki.” And the PMRC was born when the Purple One’s lyrics “I knew a girl named Nikki, I guess you could say she was a sex fiend/ I met her in a hotel lobby masturbating with a magazine,” drifted from the stereo belonging to Tennessee Senator Al Gore, his wife Tipper and their 12-year-old daughter Karenna, for whom Tipper had purchased the record.
Tipper was shocked at what she heard, particularly as there was no intimation on Purple Rain’s cover - aside perhaps from Prince’s suggestive leer - that there was "filth" inside. So in May 1984, she founded the Parents’ Music Resource Center along with other Washington wives to inform parents on how dubious material was being marketed to their kids. The goal was to advise the recording industry to monitor their artistic product.[...] | |

Prince didn't create it. The PMRC pressured the music industry to create it. Prince's song just happened to be one of several others Tipper Gore and her gang of battle axes used to achieve their goals. | |

Most likely she started the process of forming this group after that and maybe filed an initiative in May of 1985 | |
