I think "SHMUP" sounds dumb as well.

Might be a dumb name but I do love saying it for some reason.

Metroidvania is arguably worse, considering how many Castlevania games are not in that genre.

People call anything with the key-lock structure a Metroidvania. That's just one small element of how actual Metroids play.

I feel as a genre it's entirely detached from both its namesakes.
