Back a decade ago....the Duden (the rule book for German language) finally added Scheißsturm.
Now, if you asked a hundred Germans, I would imagine that half of them would say they've never uttered the term, and near fifty-percent would still say it's a vulgar word, which they'd prefer not to use.
When used? I would describe it as used in a serious and chaotic event....which has a ton of controversy involved.
More used by teens and young adults? Yeah.Use on news shows or public forums? No....the more educated German....won't utter it.
But I would suggest that when uttered....it's an event that you probably have a pretty negative view of.
