It’s also used because things tend to go boom in the games
A truly unique feature of the retro FPS genre.
It's also way more fun to say than "retro fps"
It's a pun and one of the prominent meanings is "old people like boomers like them", while the other is "rockets go boom". You know this.
Its origin is actually related to the “30 year old boomer” meme. Etymology is fun!
