Instead of the standard black label, Studio Brussel has designed a purple version that uses the same bold font and content while honoring the late titan of [rock and funk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haribo-linkin-park-gummy-mix). The Parental Advisory label is particularly pertinent to Prince's career. The label was in fact invented as a result of a Prince song, the famously graphic 'Darling Nikki.' The song, which includes the line "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," caused an uproar in the industry and among parents, ultimately leading to the creation of the Parental Advisory label. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Memorializing Labels:** Innovative label designs and ideas that honor influential public figures. - **Bold Labeling:** Using eye-catching typography and bright colors to differentiate products and draw attention. - **Controversial Labeling:** Creating labeling that is provocative in nature and attracts attention and discussion. ### Where This Applies - **Music Industry:** The industry can introduce innovative labeling designs to memorialize influential artists while maintaining the standard product labeling. - **Food and Beverage Industry:** Marketers can use creative and bold labeling options to stand out in an increasingly crowded market, making their products more memorable and compelling to potential customers. - **Apparel Industry:** Innovative and provocative labeling for clothing can differentiate brands in a competitive industry by demonstrating personality and style. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Music-Legend-Inspired Overnight Stays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purple-rain-house.md) - [Collectable Singer-Honoring Coins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/george-michael-coin.md) - [Iconic Band Apparel Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freaks-store-2.md) - [Pop Culture Candy Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/album-art-packaging.md) - [Legacy Artist-Themed T-Shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gap-1.md) - [Rapper-Honoring Cannabis Strains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/death-row-records-cannabis.md) - [Commemorative Music Coins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-coins.md) - [New Permanent Candy Characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-character.md) - [Sweet Potato Casserole Granolas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purple-grain-granola.md)
