Frank Zappa mixed a taste for the most radical avant garde modern classical music, with love of the classic r&b, rock and doo-wop music of his '50's youth.
He was noted as a hardened cynic, an opponent equally of stupid self-indulgent hippie dopeheads, Republican clergy, and teenage love songs. He talked many times about what he saw as the horribly destructive influence of idyllic and simplistic teen-love pop song lyrics. He wrote probably thousands of compositions without even one identifiable love song. (On the other hand, he was inarguably one of the most devoted family men in show business. )
His nominal cynicism is better understood as a harsh brand of idealism. He was never willing to turn away from political repression or personal dysfunction, never willing to pretend that everything is fine when he didn't really think so. He didn't bother to make all the stink about the PMRC and Tipper Gore because he lacked ideals.
