Comment on I hate the term "Boomer Shooter"

I get that the term doesn’t line up age wise with actually Boomers, but also games progress really fast. We’re currently on the “ninth-generation” of video games, and Doom came out at the beginning of the third generation of video games. So you could consider Doom-likes to be 6 generations old, and baby-boomers to be 4 generations old. So in terms of “generations”, Boomer shooters should maybe be named after an older generation such as the “Greatest Generation” (6 generations ago). Therefore I propose we call Doom-likes “Greatest Shooters” instead of “Boomer shooters”.

Oh, I’m liking this take. Get ready for “Z Shooters” and “Alpha Shooters”.
