Too much swearing in contemporary music?

The singers know it will attract the attention of younger people,who possibly think it's big to listen to bad language.

also a good way to mask the lack of talent of the performer.

class acts don't resort to such attention seeking measures

I like it better when it is mild, for instance in the manners of Aerosmith, with occasional swearing, but Steven Tyler sings more in riddles that are like dirty jokes. I think that if you are a little too mellow, people will consider you a bore. An occasional off guard curse word to toss things up is perfect, but don't overdo it.

Swearing is like using exclaimation marks when writing. If you overdo it, you look stupid.

My opinion...

yes--way too much---The Beatles and Elvis legacys will never die out, and they never sang that way at all...its not nesessary....
