Appending “-like” to any genre is so unoriginal and uninteresting.
Comment on I hate the term "Boomer Shooter"

We were calling them Doom-clones before FPS became a thing, maybe it’s time to bring it back as a sub category.

It isn’t intended to be interesting

That’s abundantly clear.

The burn you think you are deploying, to a casual categorical label and those who use it, is not very effective.

Not a bad idea, but like which DOOM?
I ask that sarcastically, but 90’s DOOM, 00’s DOOM, and 10-20s DOOM all play very differently lol

Any of them would be more accurate than Boomer shooter.
