Perhaps they are though, it is a matter of perception. It may be that they have found something that is more functional and are using it in order to be able to compete with those around him/her. Such as a style of shirt that is pleasing to the eyes that is able to gain the attention of a potenetail mate. Or it could be that they are just trying to be different. For the reason to be different is ignorant because the major groupings will reject the person or even attempt to get rid of it, hence why there are groups of people who dislike a single person or a single person is a pinacle of hate.
People aren't very keen on difference. It is commion human behavior. A human wants to be a part of a group and this is good because grouped together humans are better suited to survival. So being a rebel is not a wise idea because it is messing with the workings of people around him/her.
A simple proverb straightens things out here, "The nail that sticks up gets beat down. If it doesn't then it catches on peoples clothing and pisses them off."
I am different, but I try to supress that difference to not fall out of the favor of those around me, and I'm pretty sure that's what many other people do to. That is why many people drink, smoke and do drugs, to not fall out of the favor of the people who did it at the time. A classic example of peer pressure.
It looks like something my spanish teacher would show. She is the most b-FEMALE DOG!-y person I know. My class would laugh, and then she would get p-URIN!-sed off.

Then she said "Isn't it by Russia, or something?" I really wanted to shoot her. If someone is sixteen years old and has no idea where Africa is, they deserve to be sent back to kindergarten.
Wow. If that's what she has to work with for the rest of her life, she better be really, REALLY hot.

What about the old ones like "excrement" and others of that time? Those ones were good. And there should also be a translating guide, because not all of the words they're changed to make sense (or at least not until you know what they take the place of).

And we should add some things to that filter as well. Very few of those got caught, and although they aren't swears, they could definitely be done without.
Think of all the fun we could have voting on the filter for Penis! (Ding-a-ling, becuase you can't say penis! ) <= Family Guy reference.
When I was a little bitty boy
my grandmother bought me a cute little toy
Silver bells hangin' on a string
she told me it was my ding a ling
My ding a ling, my ding a ling
I want to play with my ding a ling
My ding a ling, my ding a ling
I want to play with my ding a ling
And then mother took me to Grammer School
But I stopped all in the vestibule
Every time that bell would ring
catched me playin' with my ding a ling
Once I was climbing the garden wall
I slipped and had a terrible fall
I fell so hard I heard bells ring
but held on to my ding a ling
Once I was swimming cross Turtle creek
many snappers all around my feet
Shure was hard swimming cross that thing
with both hands holdin' my ding a ling
This here song it ain't so sad
the cutest little song you ever had
those of you who will not sing
You must be playin' with your own ding a ling
