What Is A Bullet Heaven, And Why Does It Matter?

I have no clue who originally coined 'Bullet Heaven' as the name for this genre, but it stuck in my head so well I felt compelled to make this video. Obviously, I might end up being on the wrong side of things and some other genre name might win out... but I kinda hope not. Bullet Heavens are catchy, and the name is too.

And if you haven't tried these games, boy oh boy you're in for a treat.
