Swearing, as the most obvious feature of popular rap music, changes the socio-linguistic indicators in the literature of people in society. The two-way relationship of the audience with the content of the songs is formed based on the tastes and knowledge that depend on the local situation. For example, in Iranian society, in the past, swearing was heard in the feudal system, boys' schools, military, labor and factories, but Today, swearing is increasingly heard in academic environments, regardless of gender, and in girls' high schools, which is in conflict with Iranian cultural symbols. The purpose of this research is to discover and investigate the mental and semantic implications of Tataloo fan girls from listening to his swearing songs, which was carried out with the qualitative method and grounded theory technique and the use of in-depth semi-structured interviews with 25 Tataloo fans.The samples were selected based on the purposeful snowball sampling. Interviews were stopped when theoretical saturation was reached. The paradigm model resulting from the interpretation of the opinions of female fans shows that acceptability of swearing songs) in connection with a set of causal conditions (social and cultural background - special situations - homophobia - attractiveness of the artist's lived experience - not getting permission and rejection from society - family background of the singer), background conditions (poverty-unemployment-isolation-lack of entertainment), intervening conditions (dominance of music industry-peer group) become meaningful. Girls justify swearing in street music by using strategies (the normality of swearing in rap style - the pleasantness of swearing) which is one of its consequences (draining energy - creating a discourse of profanity in society's literature - normalization of swearing to people around - intensification of swearing in new songs - tendency towards nihilism). The fans consider themselves and the singer to be rejected from the society and victims of oppression and discrimination, and because they lack the power to act against discrimination, they are helpless and weak people they are like helpless and weak people who are only able to express their anger by swearing.
