Views on SWEARING (IN SONGS)

More control needed over swearing in songs?

It’s hard to find things that can be debated as to whether they’re good or bad – most things are either one or the other. I thought swearing in songs is a kind of debatable subject. Modern music has loads more swearing in then it used to. Does this mean it’s more acceptable nowadays? I don’t care about swearing in songs (apart from when the songs just rubbish!) but I hate it when they play it in clothes shops in town when mums are in there with their little kids! Especially when they’re in pushchairs, surely they’re way to young to be listening to that sort of stuff?

This forum suggests swearing is necessary in some songs for effect, others suggest they won’t by songs with swearing in:
