It’s shooters in the style that Boomers and Gen X (but no one ever addresses Gen X) played. Like Doom, Wolfenstein, etc. Sure millennials played them too, but they weren’t the target age demographic.

Cultic is a good modern boomer shooter if you want to try one.

Ain’t no Boomers playing Doom, Quake, or Wolfenstein back in the 90s. These games were directly aimed at the Gen-X and early Millennial generations. And by god, did we ever play the shit out of them.

Boomers did not fucking play Doom in any numbers, they were in their 50s.

They were playing minesweeper and tetris and solitaire if they played any computer games.
