    It’s only slop if it’s bad. Otherwise it’s core. In this case, Grampcore.

      My favorite definition was when it was used to describe cheap, mass produced clothes like your work clothes from around the 16th to 19th century, sailors would dress in their slop, etc.

        First, someone half-clever comes up with a neologism or repurposes an uncommon word to describe a new phenomenon.

        *Monkey’s paw of linguistic integration curls another of its infinite fingers*

        Someone not so clever hears the word and fails to understand the word. They take it to mean good or bad because they are too simple to comprehend more than a judgemental binary. Now they use their shiny new word that makes them feel clever for everything. More not so clever individuals do the same. Now it’s used by every idiot with an internet connection.

        The clever person sounds like an idiot by simply being the human surrounded by parrots saying the same thing, and the concept they were trying to bring into public consciousness is treated as the noise of the rabble. It is a battle even to get people to take it seriously.

        But, hey, at least the memelords get to feel clever and you can snort quietly for a half a second when you scroll past the memes.

    As soon as people started calling staples of the FPS genre “boomer shooters,” I knew it was over.

      That never made sense to me, since Boomers by and large weren’t the ones playing games then.

        Boomer is shorthand for “old”. Accuracy is not a requirement for a snappy genre title.

      Is it called a “boomer shooter” because it has exploding barrels (or other things) you can shoot?

        No, it’s because they are styled like old fps like doom or hertic

    This contextless superficial review of classics denies the groundbreaking gameplay, art styles, storytelling, and direction that these games contributed to the artistic medium that is video games.

    Like saying that The Godfather sucks becuase it is derivative and stuck in the time that it was created.
