The curious thing is that Baby Boomers had nothing to do with the FPS we are now emulating.
For example, John Carmack was born in 1970, so he is a GenX. And most people who played his games at the time were GenX and Millennials.
There might have been some Baby Boomers that played these games, or even helped making a few. But they were the exception.

The slang 'boomer' is often used just to refer to old people, regardless of them being a baby boomer or not. So in a way you could say boomer shooters just means old shooters.
