Gloomer refers to several
Wojak characters spread on
4chan describing young adults between ages 22 and 27 who lead an antisocial and uninspired life that may be a consequence of a
blackpill OD, a rich inner world, eccentric tastes, and chronic
anhedonia that alienate the Gloomer from the community. Although these aren't exclusive conditions for being a Gloomer, they provide a general basis for it.
Termed by some as an inbetween of the
Doomer and
Bloomer: the former being complete blackpill or the "final
redpill", the latter being optimistic despite said blackpilling.
While the Doomer may be a lost cause, there is still hope for redemption for the Gloomer to emerge as a Bloomer and set aside their
Weltschmerz, the other emotional destination being the
honkpill.
The Gloomer may be an avid reader of
Nietzsche, Hegesias of Cyrene, the Buddhists,
Schopenhauer, and the
Kali Yuga, among others.
The Gloomer is likely a symptom of a decaying civilization, social alienation, atomization, the realization of societal woes, and the degenerative effects of auto-domestication.
While the earliest variation of Gloomer depicted the character as a 27-year-old female, a male version of the character gained spread in April 2019.
