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.
