I’ve heard it explained that “hey” used to be more of an urgent way to get someone’s attention, rather than a casual “hello” like it is now, so it sounded rude to some older folks.

    So, your evidence is purely anecdotal based on your experience, check. My experience has been the complete opposite. 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Yes, one’s option is largely based on their experiences.

        Then that’s how I would address it. I wouldn’t make a blanket statement about a whole generation simply based off of my experiences. That’s just silly.

          I would argue that the Zoomers and Millenials fit that description better

          Isn’t that you from like 3 comments ago? You were trying to flip the blanket statement onto 2 whole generations based off of your experiences.
