Boomers were young in the 60s and 70s, Half-Life is not even a part of Gen X gaming... is the title engagement bait?

Duke Nukem makes sense. Half-Life does not. Half-Life stars a nerdy scientist who just wants to live, and the game is carried by its story.

No video game newer than Pong makes any sense with the word Boomer in front.

I think the title is just alluding to the genre change provided by the mod and referencing how the game has a lot of explosions.
