Steelo is a simple slang term meaning "style." The word "Steelo" w was popularized by urban youth in the NYC area in the early 1990s. As such, several hip hop artists Incorporated the use of the word, "steelo," in their songs. It flowed South from NY, thru Virginia, the Carolinas and the dirty South states of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and even Florida. It came to the US West coast after that and began to fizzle once the word crossed into mainstream after having been used prominently by the female singing group from that period that called their group simply "702". Now, it was rare to hear that word used past 1998 to present day, October 14, 2018. If you're STILL using "Steelo" in your vocabulary, you should stop... Immediately!! You sound old and crazy!! Hope that this helps you guys out in the UD universe!
