This makes it sound like it's an American/Western phenomena, where it's definitely not (only there). It's a recurring joke among me and my friends in Japan to say "the moon is beautiful tonight" because in true Japanese culture that's a way to say "I love you".
Though OTOH Spanish went the opposite direction, where my Mexican friends say some times more swear words in a sentence than normal words; but they've become meaningless or softer.
