The project of purification of auditory culture in 60th of Iran and the field of music has always been a challenging section since the Islamic revolution in 1978–79. The first decade after the revolution, 1980-1990, music was under a revolutionary transformation which is the subject of this article to analyze.How Iranian music underwent a transformation, with the history inherited from the Pahlavi era in the scene of the revolution and the 60th? For answering this question, we met musicians of that decade in order to study new challenges of music production in the form of revolutionary anthems and songs. Also, the process of music distribution was important, so we also studied two audio cassettes sellers’ lived experience of that decade. Consequently, by the transformation of Iranian society from western culture to the Islamic Ummah with jihadi and revolutionary culture, music could not be a song for party and dancing, but it was dedicated to song of war, revolution, and jihad. Therefore, the structure of production and consumption of music made an urgent necessity to purify the auditory culture from every blemish aspect.
