    It comes from a few years ago. Some team making a boomer shooter weren’t sure what genre they wanted to advertise it as, since just plain “first person shooter” is saturated. One of them saw the original DOOM described on twitter as “some kinda boomer-ass shooter” and thought it was hilarious, so they went with it.
