There are some really great explanations of "boomer shooter" itt, and you should read them before just reacting to the headline.
I had no idea it was a thing but there are some extremely insightful comments in here that imo totally justify the definition.
If you're interested in the genre, Quake 1 just got a remake and there's no better place to start than the originals B)
Ultrakill is also very good. It's only a few years old

I started my PC gaming journey with Wolfenstein3D and Return To Castle Wolfenstein. DukeNukem3D, and RTCW were my jam and I was high ranked on public servers (was in clans, etc. all that). After that I joined the Navy, got into Warcraft (was easier for LANs in the barracks, wc2 and wc3). From then on stuck to mobas for my competitive fix and never really went back to fps.
I had no idea there was an actual genre defined by these though. It totally makes sense. Wolfenstein was soooooo much faster than later games like COD.
Oh I guess I'm preaching to the choir lmao
