Moral panic was widespread fear and social concern of a, usually hitherto unknown, evil that threatened society and, preferably, innocent children. The fear was spread by ”moral entrepreneurs” as well as the mass media.
Often it related to new phenomena that young people enjoyed, such as heavy metal music, roleplaying games or video nasties. Moral panic could also be generated targeting groups that were seen as threats to social norms in a community, outsiders like mods and rockers or the LGBT community.
It’s good that we have gotten past this as a society… now it will never happen again.
