A person (usually a millennial or
generation Z and male) who has experienced apparent hardship (
relationship breakup, job loss, failure etc.) and has became fully immersed in apathy, self hatred, depression and generally being a loner. Usually asleep or tired in the day and more active at the night, spending time on the internet or going on long night walks ruminating.
Often has little other hobbies, whilst listening to characteristic music including Slowcore,
Eastern European Goth, 'Doomer Wave', Radiohead and the more sombre and depressing forms of Midwest Emo music.
Doomers often want a normal life, but find it hard to understand why everything goes against them and thinks long and hard about a path back to normality.

Person B: He took breakup with his gf quite badly, then lost his job. He now spends all his time reading, posting sad status updates and
depressing music on
Facebook.
