From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The appearance of nudity in music videos has caused controversy since the late 1970s, and several explicit music videos have been censored or banned. Nudity has gained wider acceptance on European television , where audiences often view nudity and sexuality as less objectionable than the depiction of violence .[citation needed ] In contrast, MTV , VH1 and other North American music-related television channels usually censor what they think is inappropriate and might be considered offensive to their viewers.[ 1]
