Nobody says it anymore (startrek.website)

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.

I would argue it’s the zoomers and millennials that fit that description better than boomers or gen X.

I don't know man, I've never seen a zoomer yell at a cashier at a big store chain about the prices being too high or them not having something in stock. Boomers on the other hand, I have a number of times. Boomers are also the only people I've ever seen get called entitled by not only older generations, but also yonger ones too. Seriously, google "me generation" and see what pops up.
