The term boomer shooter is just ... really? Like why?

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 months ago

Because "Gen X shooter" doesn't roll off the tongue in the same way, and because they had their resurgence at a time when "boomer" was coming into its own as a more generic term for "old".

But it's still dumb AF.

It’s boomer because things go boom it’s a reaction name for looter shooter.
