the world could do without each era's inhabitants arbitrarily deciding a few strings of letters are "profane" or "offensive" ... must not have anything else better to do
what was profane 300 years ago may or may not be today and may or may not be again in another 300 years. i guess some individuals NEED something to get offended about and thus contrive "obscenity". THAT makes no sense to me.
so now you have a chicken and egg quandry: any musician making gratuitious overuse of profanity probably does so because the profanity was decided upon by culture police to have shock value. you create something that will get a rise out of you, and someone is going to use it to do just that. taboo factor if nothing else.
(and this is just in the linguistic arena, never mind visual arts and such)

Cussing is like a word and representation of something bad. People don't usually hear it in regular situations. So if you hear like a bad word you think oh that guy is bad. But really its just word that has meaning that isn't liked

a few reasons.
1.society has shunned those words and that gives them a higher meaning that most others.
2.artists don't like to be censored,free people should be aloud to be free.
3. whether people like cuss words they are and always will be a big part of our language because of reason one and two.
4. people like to be rebellious because we can do less and less freely these days.

I think they think that when they cuss the express more feelings. And they probably feel it makes their songs more meaningful.

it's pretty sad that our language is diminishing, the average persons vocabulary is probably only 1000 words. you can you the "F" word in replacement for half of those words
