Nobody says it anymore

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.
It was "yo" for me. Any time I used it some old shit would complain. My mom called it n-word speak. Me and my mom don't talk.
I use it daily, mostly out of spite.
She wasn't ok with yo but the n word was ok? Hahaha wtf old people be crazy
My mom was about 35 when she said that. Went to services every weekend.
In the '90s I had a snap back that I decorated with stick on jewels (beadazzled) and on the back I wrote "YO!" in sparkly silver puffy paint. I thought I was so cool in that hat.
It was the 90s, so you were. These days, not so much.
I say yo, but only to feel cool
I say yo but only bcoz its a call in Japanese
