The term boomer shooter has been around for a couple decades to designate shooters from the '90s like Doom, it’s not a “now” thing. The genre has stayed popular and a shooter doesn’t need to be from the '90s to be a boomer shooter, either.

Jesus, it’s like anyone older than a gen Z is a boomer now
I am showing my age here, but it seems that boomer in context of slang means old person if you are in your 20s or earlier.
It’s been “anyone older than me that I don’t like” for a lot of the perpetually online, for a while now.
