I imagine it's political. They'd rather raise a loud voice and get people to pay attention to them than actually change anything. Sure, sometimes initiatives get picked up and things get done, but they just want to present themselves to the "moral majority" as someone who
cares.
Of course, things always get blamed for the detriment of society if they don't conform to the majority's opinions/tastes. Rock music, like you mentioned, drugs and alcohol, TV/video game violence. It's silly what these people get worked up over. I personally have been playing computer games for about 12 years, and games altogether for about 16. I've never gotten into violent altercations of any kind, never fantasized about going all Rambo on people... but then again, I've always been a bit more into strategy games, and I am kind of struggling with megalomania.
But when the world is mine, I'll deal with the Jack Thompsons of the world, I promise.
