Lyrics often reflect reality, the f-word is part of reality. Though I do agree when it comes to lyrics where they use to f-word only as a shock factor... that nearly always sound off. But as most things, of course, it's all about taste.

True, and I understand what you're saying. But I would say that if a songwriter wants their tune accepted by a wider audience then they would do well to leave the word out all together. There's better words to be used out there, imo. The word doesn't convey much more than general angst. That angst can be described better to draw in the audience. Yah, I agree with the reality part. But there's a difference, and the word is accepted differently, when the word is used as a noun modifier and when it's used as a verb!! Just a couple of thoughts...
