Something about the vulgarity and brashness of the tone of this site just strikes me as so mid 2010's. Can't say it's aged particularly well.


I appreciate the concept here, but I agree with your sentiment. It’s reminiscent of the crude as a personality type that was almost hipster popular.



I dunno about you, but I was born in the 1980s and my dad cussed like a sailor, loved George Carlin, etc. I'd say that the language has a timeless quality.


I don't know if there is such thing as "tasteful" use of vulgarity but Carlin did a lot better job than this does at using vulgarity to emphasize parts of his standup. This website just uses it as the only adjective which completely diminishes its emphasis and weight.
