Yes, as any old person will tell you, everyone is rude and disrespectful these days (by comparison).

The eufemism treadmill works bot ways. Eufemisms loose their politeness. Swearwords loose their strength (to be replaced by new ones). Language changes. I don't think people are inherently more rude and disrespectful.
