    What’s “boomer shooter” supposed to mean? According to Wikipedia definitions, baby boomers were 29-47 years old when Doom was released - hardly the target audience.

      It’s games styled like doom. Iirc it’s from Duke nukem calling his shotgun a boomstick and the shooter part comes from it being a shooter game. Some people also just call anyone a generation older than them a boomer.
