Yesterday I got lots of questions asking “I used to play (X) are there any current generation Boomer Shooters like it?” I wrote this article to answer many of those questions.

    @Treevan @blindsight Boomer has now been expanded to be synonymous with “old,” it barely even means “the baby boomer generation” anymore in modern Internet parlance.

      While I don’t disagree with your statement, this is what I was referencing:

      The term “boomer shooter” is a playful reference to the ‘Baby Boomer’ generation who were the initial audience for these games.

      I don’t think there is any doubt there.
