Why have Double Negatives Become Fashionable?

For double negatives, I hear this on way more often:
"I didn't say/do nothing"... which really is them saying that they did say /do something

Actually its just bad english. They are denying doing anything.

I agree, double negatives are a way of being less precise and/or positive, and they have their place, except in tjalfe's example

No they ain't don't have no place maybe.
