Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons
In June 2012, "Jung, brutal, gutaussehend" was "indexed" by the Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons (BPjM), meaning that sale to minors in Germany and advertising is no longer possible. Petra Meier, deputy chairman of the BPjM, mentioned the reasons for the indexing such as "the views expressed in these songs that are dramatic depictions of violence". The federal agency had to "balance between the art of freedom […] and youth protection", but saw "youth protection issues as a priority".
