ELI5: Did peoples swear less ~60 years ago? What's with the stereotype of old ladies going 'oh my' when someone drops an f-bomb?

As a dude in my late twenties, it's bizarre to see how my grandparents react to swearing in media, they are visibly shocked when people swear, I can't imagine my peers, male or female, not cussing up a storm. Did the world become more tolerant of swearing?

Yes, people swore much less, if they were middle or upper class. And certainly there was much less swearing in popular media--you wouldn't see it in a movie or hear it on the radio, and probably not even read it in a book. As a child, you'd get punished for swearing. People did it in private, sure, or lower class people might, but it was not a respectable thing to do.

It's definitely something that has become much more acceptable in the public sphere in recent times.
