I would argue that the intent of that specific message is to attract an audience rather than to warn people, but sure.

I agree with this particular line of reasoning. Whether or not trigger warnings are popularized is unfortunately not up to me, so I wouldn't be surprised if they increase in popularity as the Millennials raise even more sensitive and entitled children somehow for the next generation.“Frankly it seems this is sort of an inevitable movement toward people increasingly expecting physical comfort and intellectual comfort in their lives,” said Greg Lukianoff, president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, a nonprofit group that advocates free speech. “It is only going to get harder to teach people that there is a real important and serious value to being offended. Part of that is talking about deadly serious and uncomfortable subjects.”
Not a big deal to me, personally, but I would prefer a world without "clean versions" of songs and "explicit lyrics" warnings. Maybe I'll Spielberg out when I'm old and have grandkids, who knows?
