A guy for whom one falls so hard—typically at a young age/vulnerable period—that it ruins one’s life. This type of man is commonly referred to as a “bad influence,” listening to thrash/heavy rock/metal music, reveling in anarchy, resisting the mainstream agenda, and as a result, often counter-intuitively being perceived as enigmatic and alluring to those who unwaveringly engage in rule-abiding, “straight-edge” behavior. Please refer to The Dirty Nil’s “Doom Boy” for further context.
Girl: “I’m skipping practice tonight. Luke and I are going to see this new band later, but first we’re going to drive down to the tracks and get high in his mom’s van.”
Girl’s friend: “You’re skipping again? Last week you failed your first chem exam ever, and now you’re more than likely going to be kicked off the dance team. Can’t you see Luke is a total doom boy?”
Girl: “You wouldn’t understand—we are in love.”
