This important,perplexing question came to me at lunch
When did it stop being "Man" and start being "Dude" and what is the age cutoff for each phrase.

Then the question becomes when does a "man" or "dude" become "pop?"

Another one I have been hearing is 'Got it, Boss'. Not sure if that is an age slam.

I thought dude stopped awhile back, and man before it. As far as Boss goes, it's typically because of knowledge, not age. I think Brah is one of the more recent terms.
I agree with Gwolf's answer.
Oh, let me not forget dawg, which is still used.

I remember the old Dell computer commercials ... "It's a Dell Dude!" The kid got busted for pot and lost his contract with Dell. Actually, I think I remember hearing it first during Vietnam.

I am pretty sure Dell wasn't selling PCs while we was in Vietnam.

I must be " pops " as I've never called anybody " dude " If I need to get a strangers attention I call them "hay buddy" or "sir". If it's a woman it's always " mam" or " miss". If I know a person's name ( which I'll forget within 5 minutes ) I call them by their name of course. Maybe it's my age or demeanor but I don't get called " dude" either.

This is something in the Girl World that some find perplexing. Girls in a group referring to themselves as a group of 'guys'. Example, a girl says, "Hey guys, lets go to the club" when talking to her female friends. From what I hear, that is a Northern thing. Southern girls don't get it.
Girls also refer to their female friend as 'girl friend' as appose to a guy talking about his significant other as his 'girlfriend'. Note the space between the words.

Thanks for making me postpone my lunch to read this
Just remember there are more than one kind of dude. There is dude, dooood, and of course dooooooooooood. Also I think the term boss came along for people like me who never can remember anyone's name.
