Pretentiousness

he doesn't take himself seriously
>For better and for worse, his musical persona includes an odd aspect: a passion for satirical lyrics. He always seemed more comfortable wearing the clothes of the clown than rewriting the history of music. He always seemed to think of satire as his first and main art, and music as a sort of soundtrack to it. His satirical tone ranged from the childish joke to bitter sarcasm, and he tended to excel at the latter end of the spectrum. His favorite victim was hypocrisy, regardless of how it appears in society. His natural targets were televangelists, corporations, politicians, but also ordinary people, whether "dancing fools", "catholic girls" or "jewish princesses". He showed no mercy for the human species, and relentlessly exposed its vices and perversion. He made fun of virtually every race, people, profession, hobby, habit, job, ideology, religion, etc. on this planet. Most of his repertory is "political", but without actually being militant. Zappa was not a protester or an activist. He was merely a man who used his brain. It turned out that, in one of nature's most bizarre accidents, Zappa the satirical genius shared the same brain with Zappa the musical genius.
because he didn't want to pander to people such as you
>beautiful melodic music intertwining the eclectics and energies of rock music with the precise grace of orchestral arrangements
>lyrics: "ooo I'm a dirty pollack and I'mm put my cheesy wiener in your fartbox"
Because it's his music and he can do what he wants.
>but I don't like it
Make your own music then.
because lyrics don't matter unless you want them to and he was the first rock musician to realize that
Except I didn't say I didn't like it
Zappafags are so fucking defensive
