I can assure you, a millennial or older wrote this list to rile up his fellows :D
It’s only slop if it’s bad. Otherwise it’s core. In this case, Grampcore.
If someone said this to me. I would be violent instantly.
What “slop”? Stop using “slop” for everything now. Fucking kid.
Calm down grandpa
No…they have a point. The word is so overused I don’t even want to type it out.
This kid missed the “be seen, not heard lesson”
Where is GoldenEye?
Thanks for the game recommendations. Can’t wait to try them out!
Go for the eyes Boo, go for the eyes!
Sorry but “slop” has been reserved for AI-relater insults only and I will not accept any dilution of that.
The friendslop genre would like a word.
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.
I mean, it’s a little funny. I saw people calling things quality-slop or artistic-slop
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.
Sounds like a pretty woke take to me.

Me while Alexandria is burning:
You: in despair, pitiful, will never create language faster than I can bastardize it :3
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.
I guess it irks me because us Gen Xers were the first ones who really started playing video games, damn it! XD
You are the boomer now. Passes the mantle
Oh I thought it was because stuff goes boom 😔
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
like doom
So, a doomer shooter?
Boomer doomer shooter
Besmerch my Fallout! How dare you! Good DAY sir!
Wtf?
Nice rage bait lol
Truly. My 7yo plays enough Earthbound to put the lie to this meme, the classics are evergreen.
-Slop?
The distance between a new term’s invention, its ironic use, to it then being abused is getting shorter and shorter.
If these games were cars you could register them as classics in California. If you played any of them on release, you should probably stand up and stretch after you read this comment
I remember playing the shareware OG doom after my not-uncle installed it on the family computer back in '94.
Yes, I’m basically dead now.
lmao this takes me back to the olden days of bait when you could just call something shit and people would argue.
checks comments
Old days, huh?
Time is a flat circle, my friend.
Ragebait is the meta now for any and all content instead of just the occasional troll stirring shit.
That never happened, as I will explain in my 42 part podcast…
